    Solution

    QUAD aims to ensure and support a “free, open and prosperous” Indo-Pacific region. The idea of Quad was first mooted by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2007. However, the idea couldn’t move ahead with Australia pulling out of it, apparently due to Chinese pressure. It is the grouping of four democracies such as India, Australia, the US, and Japan. India, Australia, the US and Japan, came together and formed this “quadrilateral” coalition in 2017. A meeting was conducted between the UNGA and the Quad (India, the U.S., Australia, and Japan) to sign a cooperation for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR).
