He emphasized the importance of enhancing cooperation within the QUAD alliance—which includes the U.S., India, Japan, and Australia—to address growing security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region. Hegseth highlighted initiatives like the Indo-Pacific Logistics Network and the Partnership for Indo-Pacific Industrial Resilience (PIPER) to bolster regional defense capabilities and supply chains.
