Tokyo: Top diplomats from the U.S., Australia and India will gather in Tokyo next week for “quad" talks to discuss their common regional concerns, such as China's increasingly assertive actions, in a first face-to-face meeting Japan is hosting since the coronavirus pandemic.

Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi told reporters Tuesday that U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne, and India's External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar will hold off-line talks on Oct. 6.

Motegi said the four ministers are expected to discuss ways to promote “a free and open Indo-Pacific," a concept of security and economic cooperation that Japan and the U.S. have been pushing in the face of China's growing assertiveness in the region.

“It is very timely for the four foreign ministers sharing the same concerns over the regional situation" to share their views in person, Motegi said. He said they are expected to discuss the coronavirus and the economy hurt by the pandemic and other regional concerns.

“The vision of ‘free and open Indo-Pacific’ will be even more important in a post-coronavirus world," he said. “In order to achieve it, I hope to confirm at the upcoming meeting the importance to deepen our cooperation with other countries."

Motegi said Japan’s new Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga may also meet with Pompeo on the sidelines of the talks in his first face-to-face meeting with a top foreign official since taking office. Suga is also expected to meet with the Australian and Indian foreign ministers.

Suga took office two weeks ago, replacing Shinzo Abe, who stepped down from the premiership, citing poor health.

The four strategic partners held their foreign ministers' talks in September last year in New York.
