The use of the term "Indo-Pacific" by President Trump has led to speculation that it may have something to do with Washington preparing the ground for a revival of the so called Quadrilateral strategic alliance between US, Japan, Australia and India to counter China's rise.

India, the US, Japan and Australia issued separate statements listing the Indo-Pacific region as the major area of the their discussions and resolved to work towards upholding a rules- based order and ensuring respect for international law in the region, seen as a message to China.

In Quadilateral alliance in which four countries India, Japan, Australia, USA have agreed their multilateral security and building up international military ties in a disputed south China sea.
