 I'm Roger Noble, the Australian Counter-Terrorist Ambassador, and we're here for the Quad Counter-Terrorist Exercise. One of the common problems that the Quad nations have, and in fact all nations have, is the threat posed by terrorism and violent extremists. So when we come together like this in technical forums with experts and talk about real world problems, we better understand the challenge that we face, we better understand each other, and we're more likely to be able to cooperate and understand when we respond either inside our own nations or anywhere around the world. Hi, my name is Greg Lagerfo, I'm the Deputy Coordinator for Counter-Terrorism at the U.S. Department of State. The Quad group shares values, capabilities and trust, and we're democracies committed to peace, security and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. I am Akira Sugiyama, a government representative of Japan for countering terrorism and international organized crime. Japan values the Quad partnership very much. The Quad partnership is based on the shared fundamental values such as democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law. I'm Colonel Sunil Mishra, I'm Group Commander Operations National Security Guard from India. We are here with the delegation basically to interact with our Quad partners, that is Australia, USA and Japan. We have been doing this quadrilateral exercise for the last two years, so this is the third chapter of this exercise. Previously two chapters were done by India and this time in the third chapter we are participating as participants. We had a very good policy discussion in the work stream meeting yesterday to strengthen our further engagement. We have been selecting different kind of topics, previous two chapters were dedicated toward understanding the national framework of each other's country. And in the second chapter we played these frameworks in a realistic scenario. And this time we have changed the format, we have taken four pertinent issues which are there in the counter-terrorism. The first being the online terror, that is, screaming of the online terror. The second is the threat of the unarmed aerial systems. Third being the chemical attacks. And fourth is the strategic communication which has Quad partners. We need to maintain to contain a particular situation or to build a narrative for each other. While working together with our diplomats and technical experts, we are having great conversations on how to confront shared terror threats while respecting the civil liberties our citizens enjoy. All brains are required to come together to deal with the situation. So I feel there is a lot of takeaways from such exercise and next year we are planning again in the discussion process to take up the issues for the next year. We have already deepened our understanding of the common challenges we face. And also we have learned a lot from the other members presentation on their system, knowledge and experiences on counter-terrorism. Japan or our team will take away what we have learned. We have learned in this exercise and surely we will strengthen our counter-terrorism measures utilizing what we have learned here. We're going to take back the discussions and the information that we've shared today and the conversations we've had to our own federal interagency and our partners back home within our own government and implement a lot of the lessons that our partners have shared and we're looking forward to meeting with the Quad partners in the future to continue the discussions on important issues relating to counter-terrorism. We'll take the lessons and turn it into an ongoing work program so that we can stay connected with our partners, make sure we're always learning because the situation is never static. I think it'll keep going. We have an enduring problem with terrorism and violent extremism. We've got three other great partners and I'm sure we're all determined to keep working together to protect not only ourselves but our friends.
