The report added that a reduced US focus on countering China has also increased strategic concerns in New Delhi. The visit is being seen as a \u201crepair effort\u201d to stabilize US\u2013India relations and restore trust. While the QUAD meeting with Japan and Australia is considered symbolically important for regional cooperation, analysts argue that disputes over earlier US\u2013Pakistan diplomatic engagements and ceasefire credit have caused political unease in India.<\/p>\n<p>Experts cited in the report said India\u2019s strategic and diplomatic weaknesses may affect the effectiveness of platforms like QUAD. Some analysts argue that India cannot effectively counter China\u2019s influence, and that QUAD is often seen as a limited or underperforming forum, especially as China\u2019s influence grows.<\/p>\n<p>The report further stated that India\u2019s rigid diplomatic approach has left SAARC inactive and weakened due to persistent political tensions among member states. Recent BRICS meetings in India also saw disagreements among member countries and diverging national interests that hinder collective policymaking.<\/p>\n<p>Quadrilateral Security Dialogue is an informal strategic forum between the US, India, Japan, and Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi, May 24 (KMS): A report based on findings of multiple global media outlets including BCC has highlighted growing strain in US\u2013India relations and exposed the limited effectiveness of platforms like Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QUAD) amid New Delhi\u2019s diplomatic weaknesses and regional complexities.
