The question was posed at President Biden as he posed for a photo with PM Modi, Anthony Albanese and Fumio Kishida.
US President Joe Biden, one of the architects of the Quad grouping, was asked ahead of the Quad summit in Delaware if it would survive beyond November elections. The question was posed at the outgoing President - who is not seeking re-election - as he posed for a photo with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Australian and Japanese counterparts, Anthony Albanese and Fumio Kishida.
The four leaders represent the four member countries of the Quad, a security and strategic grouping committed to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
Responding to the question on Quad's future, Biden turned around and placed a hand across PM Modi's shoulder and said, "(It will survive) way beyond November."
