Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Tuesday said the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QUAD) would be a key subject of discussion at PM Narendra Modi’s meeting with his Japanese counterpart, Shigeru Ishiba, in Tokyo later this week.

“The Quad is an important platform for promoting peace, stability, prosperity and development in the Indo-Pacific. In recent years, its agenda has expanded to include practical cooperation on health security, critical and emerging technologies, supply chain resilience, infrastructure development and, importantly, critical minerals,” Misri said. The Quad has 20 critical minerals in common.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
