"We are launching a new ambitious joint partnership that is going to boost vaccine manufacturing for the global benefit, strengthen vaccinations to benefit the entire Indo-Pacific," Biden was quoted as saying.
He also called the Quad "particularly important because it is dedicated to practical solutions and concrete results."
"The United States is committed to working with you and with all our allies in the region to achieve stability," he said.
