New Delhi: The Quad partners — Australia, India, Japan and the US — convened at the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies in Honolulu, Hawaii for a Tabletop Exercise, a simulation to launch the Quad Indo-Pacific Logistics Network (IPLN).
The tabletop exercise was held from April 28 to May 2.
IPLN is an initiative that enables Quad partners to leverage shared logistics capabilities in the Indo-Pacific to support civilian response to natural disasters more rapidly and efficiently across the region, a statement said.
Together with the Indo-Pacific Partnership for Maritime Domain Awareness, the IPLN reflects the Quad’s commitment to ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific and highlights the value of strengthening practical cooperation to address regional challenges.
The MEA spokesperson said in a post on X:
“To take forward the Quad’s vision of leveraging shared logistics capabilities to strengthen civilian disaster response in the Indo-Pacific, India, Australia, Japan and the US held a Tabletop Exercise (TTX) in Hawaii from 28 Apr–2 May 2025.”
