> Indian expert Robinder Sachdev said India’s position is that the QUAD should not be transformed into an “Asian NATO.” He added that the administration of US President Donald Trump is following a new strategic doctrine. The remarks frame New Delhi’s stance on the future role of the four-country grouping while linking it to Washington’s evolving strategic approach. Sachdev presented the position as a matter of policy rather than a report of any formal change to the grouping.
