The Quad has come a long way since it was resurrected in 2017 as a loose coalition comprising the US, Australia, India and Japan. The face-to-face, leaders summit at the end of last week marked a new high point for the grouping.

OPINION: The return of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to Shenzhen did not quite live up to the theatrical possibilities of the occasion. It was night-time in Shenzhen under pandemic restrictions. So there were no hordes of beaming children, waving paper flowers and chanting a warm welcome. Red flags fluttering were unseen, though there was a red carpet.

The evacuation effort to airlift New Zealand citizens, visa holders, and Afghan allies ended on Friday after a deadly terror attack outside Kabul’s international airport. The hastily arranged operation came after the militant Taliban seized control of Afghanistan more than two weeks ago.
