At their sixth summit level meeting, which took place at Archmere Academy, Mr. Biden's former school in Claymont, Delaware, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, U.S. President Joe Biden, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of Australia, as well as Prime Minister Fumio Kishida of Japan announced a wide range of outcomes. These included an initiative to fight cervical cancer, the start of a new Coast Guard exercise, the development of a logistics network, and an increase in marine surveillance.
In the midst of shared concerns over China's growing military might, US President Joe Biden welcomed India's decision to complete the purchase of 31 long-endurance MQ-9B armed drones from US defense major General Atomics. Biden also pledged to increase two-way reciprocal supply of defense hardware with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is unclear, according to sources, whether the leaders will address Israel-Gaza and Russia-Ukraine in their joint statement following their meeting. However, they are expected to concentrate on enhancing Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness (IPMDA) mechanisms, which could involve future joint operations in the oceans, as well as strengthening semiconductor cooperation in order to create a "more secure" environment in the region.
