*Energy and Fuel Security*
Energy security is national security. The Quad’s new Indo-Pacific Energy Security Initiative expands cooperation on technology, energy resilience, and emergency preparedness to support a more stable and secure region. @ENERGY to host a dedicated Quad Fuel Security Forum later this year. #QuadFMM
