Answer: Enable Quad countries to support civilian disaster response efficiently
Notes: The Quad countries recently conducted a Tabletop Exercise at the Asia-Pacific Centre for Security Studies in Honolulu, Hawaii to advance the launch of the Quad Indo-Pacific Logistics Network (IPLN). The Indo-Pacific Logistics Network (IPLN) aims to help Quad countries use shared logistics resources to quickly and efficiently respond to natural disasters in the Indo-Pacific region. This initiative shows the Quad’s strong commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific and the importance of working together to face regional challenges. The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) includes India, Japan, Australia, and the United States. It was first formed after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami to improve disaster relief efforts and was formalised in 2007 by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
