The ministers are also expected to discuss climate change, cybersecurity, and infrastructure development in the region.
India's Role
As the host, India is expected to emphasize its vision for a rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific. The meeting will also serve as a platform to enhance bilateral ties among member nations and explore new areas of cooperation, such as vaccine distribution and technology sharing.
