Washington D.C. - Today, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Subcommittee on the Indo-Pacific Chairwoman Young Kim (R-CA) issued the following statement following the conclusion of the Quad Leaders Summit.

"We welcome the fourth in-person meeting of the Quad Leaders Summit, as the Chinese Communist Party continues its efforts to unilaterally shift the status quo in the Indo-Pacific and destabilize the region. It is crucial the Quad addresses shared priorities such as maritime security, critical and emerging technologies, and cybersecurity to deter and compete with the CCP. With elections on the horizon in the United States and Japan, it is more important than ever the Quad sustains its strong, robust cooperation in response to evolving regional challenges."
