During his first tenure as PM of Japan in 2006, Shinzo Abe had written a book that envisaged a Quadrilateral Security Dialogue between four democracies of Indo Pacific.

The big message from PM @AbeShinzo here in these tweets is Indo Pacific.
The time for the Quad has come.
The four big democracies of Indo Pacific must come together to protect the freedom of navigation for entire region from a hegemonic totalitarian power. https://twitter.com/AbeShinzo/status/1304246810521694209?s=19

Glad this India Philippines deal will be happening.
Philippines & Vietnamese Navies can't match China’s flotilla.

This would affect the balance of power in South China Sea. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/india-philippines-to-sign-deal-on-brahmos-missile-during-summit-next-year/story-4a2IiARMr9EFEU2d8FKqDK.html
