External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will undertake a three-day visit to the United States from June 30 to July 2, 2025, at the invitation of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the Ministry of External Affairs announced on Sunday.
The visit will centre around the Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (QFMM), scheduled for July 1, where the focus will be on advancing new proposals for a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific.
The meeting will bring together the foreign ministers of the Quad—India, the United States, Japan, and Australia—to build on the outcomes of their last engagement in Washington D.C. on January 21.
They are expected to review progress on ongoing initiatives and exchange views on key regional and global developments, particularly those impacting the Indo-Pacific. The discussions will help shape the agenda for the upcoming Quad Leaders’ Summit, which is to be hosted by India later this year.
The Quad has become a central platform for strategic cooperation among the four democracies, especially in ensuring peace, stability, and resilience in the Indo-Pacific amid growing geopolitical challenges.
The upcoming meeting is expected to reinforce the group’s commitment to rules-based order, freedom of navigation, and regional connectivity, as well as cooperation in areas such as critical technologies, climate action, and health security.
In addition to his participation in the Quad meeting, Jaishankar will inaugurate an exhibition titled “The Human Cost of Terrorism” at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on June 30.
The exhibition seeks to highlight the profound and continuing human suffering caused by acts of terrorism worldwide, and the global efforts undertaken to counter them.
Seen as part of India's broader diplomatic campaign against cross-border terrorism, particularly emanating from Pakistan, the exhibition is expected to underscore the need for a coordinated international response to terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
