Quad Nations Jointly Build Port in Fiji to Counter Chinese Influence
According to WION, the Quad nations—the United States, India, Japan, and Australia—have agreed to jointly construct a port in Fiji as part of expanded undersea cable and infrastructure collaboration.

The move targets the Indo-Pacific region, where China has expanded its strategic influence through infrastructure projects. The port development represents a coordinated effort to strengthen Western-aligned presence in a strategically significant area.
