Australia in Malabar Exercises

The Malabar exercises in the Indian Ocean this month show the Quad is ready to be serious.

After a gap of 13 years, Australia will take part in the India-Japan-United States naval exercise. However, from the looks of it, don't expect too much from it.

India’s recent decision to include Australia in the Malabar exercises is a significant step toward a militarized Quad. But what should the grouping keep in mind going forward?

The grouping is increasingly seeking to shape the Indo-Pacific security and economic architectures.

After years of wariness, concerns about provoking Beijing just don’t hold the same weight in New Delhi as they once did.

We are seeing the first steps toward a deeper India-Australia maritime security partnership in the Indo-Pacific.

For years, Australia has been quietly strengthening defense ties with India and other Indian Ocean partners.

What does India's decision mean for the Quad?

The reborn Quad should not be read as a first step toward an “Asian NATO.”

In 20 years, Malabar has gone from a US-India drill to a platform for wider regional collaboration. But will this last?

A former Indian foreign secretary is upbeat on the revival of the so-called ‘quad.’
