TOKYO -- South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol has unofficially approached the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue about attending the group's upcoming summit in Japan as an observer, a high-ranking government official told Nikkei, as the incoming leader pursues stronger ties with Tokyo and Washington.
The Quad, which consists of the U.S., Japan, India and Australia, serves as a counterweight to growing Chinese clout in the Indo-Pacific region. Its leaders plan to meet during a trip by U.S. President Joe Biden to Japan in late May.
