Top diplomats from the “Quad” sought to breathe fresh life into the four-nation grouping during talks in New Delhi on Tuesday amid concerns about the strength of the bloc. 
At the meeting — the third to bring together Japan’s Toshimitsu Motegi, Australia’s Penny Wong, India’s S. 
Jaishankar and U.S. 
Secretary of ​State Marco Rubio — the four diplomats took turns emphasizing a clear future for the grouping, focusing on critical minerals, maritime security and energy security. 
“Today’s meeting served as an opportunity to send an unwavering message that the Quad will advance concrete cooperation” needed to achieve an evolution of the grouping, Motegi told a joint news conference.
