The bill also requires the State Department to report to Congress a strategy for bolstering engagement and cooperation with the Quad. The strategy shall summarize current and past Quad initiatives, including those to promote broad-based and inclusive economic growth, technology cooperation, energy innovation, and resilient supply chains. The strategy shall also recommend (1) how Congress can help address certain barriers to implementing and expanding Quad cooperation, (2) new authorities needed to strengthen U.S. leadership in and contributions to Quad initiatives, and (3) additional resources needed to expand successful initiatives.
