According to earlier media reports, India was considering inviting all Quad leaders to the Republic Day celebrations, which was viewed as a strategic move in line with India’s intensifying involvement on the Quad front. The leaders include Fumio Kishida, the prime minister of Japan, and Anthony Albanese, the prime minister of Australia. According to reports, the choice was made based on these international leaders’ availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
