New York | Tighter cybersecurity arrangements, more ambitious initiatives on clean energy and funding for COVID-19 vaccine production will be the centrepiece of the first-ever face-to-face Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) between the leaders of Australia, the United States, India and Japan this week.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Monday (Tuesday AEST) landed in New York to beefed-up security for the 76th United Nations General Assembly, where he will deliver a message on Friday (Saturday AEST). This week’s Quad meeting, however, remains the focus of his visit.
