From plans to deliver more than a billion vaccine doses \u2014 India-made with U.S. funding and distributed through Japanese and Australian networks \u2014 and donate another 1.3 billion doses around the world; to prepare for an Indo-Pacific Clean Energy Supply Chain Forum to tackle climate change; to further a \u201cQuad vision\u201d for technology governances and safe and transparent 5G systems, and to launch humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations, the Quad is, in the words of the joint statement issued, \u201cmore effective in delivering practical support to the region\u201d. Despite being the only one of the Quad partners that deals with hostile land-neighbours, India was also able to insert a reference to fighting \u201ccross-border\u201d terrorism, and <strong>condemnation (An expression of strong disapproval; pronouncing as wrong or morally culpable) <\/strong>of the 26\/11 attack and Pathankot attacks. The <strong>bonhomie (A disposition to be friendly and approachable (easy to talk to)) <\/strong>between the Ministers shows a growing level of comfort with the principles behind the grouping of democratic countries, to support regional countries\u2019 efforts to advance a \u201cfree and open Indo-Pacific\u201d. That Quad members have thus far avoided institutionalising their grouping, and that they have not \u201cmilitarised\u201d it, is to their credit. In addition, despite Beijing\u2019s sharp criticism of the grouping, Quad members chose not to name China directly as the joint statement spoke of ensuring a rules-based order and respect for sovereignty and building a region \u201cfree from <strong>coercion (The act of compelling by force of authority)<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, while the grouping is strong on all these <strong>precepts (a general rule intended to regulate behavior or thought)<\/strong>, there are obvious differences in the practice of their vision for the Indo-Pacific region and the world in general. The situation in Myanmar was mentioned, but External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar made it clear that while India supports a restoration of democracy, it does not support western \u201cnational\u201d <strong>sanctions (Formal and explicit approval)<\/strong>. The meeting took place in the shadow of the growing Russia-NATO tensions over Ukraine, but it seemed evident that Mr. Jaishankar did not share U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken\u2019s assessment of an <strong>imminent (Close in time; about to occur) <\/strong>\u201cinvasion\u201d. New Delhi chose not to join the decision by the U.S., Japan and Australia to tell their citizens to <strong>evacuate (Move out of an unsafe location into safety) <\/strong>immediately from Ukraine; nor was any mention of the situation allowed into the joint statement. Mr. Jaishankar\u2019s strong tone the next day at a press conference (dominated by questions on Russia), on China\u2019s <strong>amassing <\/strong>of troops at the border with India was also a <strong>subtle (Able to make fine distinctions) <\/strong>reminder to Quad partners that while they may have similar concerns and share many core values, they do not have an identical world view, and the Quad remains very much a grouping that is \u201cfor something, not against somebody\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep your vocabulary updated with the help of our articles where we highlight 10 difficult words\/ phrases and explain their contextual sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15005,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[139],"class_list":["post-15004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Feb 14, 2022;
