华盛顿，一名美国高级官员表示，由美国、印度、澳大利亚和日本组成的“四方安全对话”领导人会议很可能于下周在东盟峰会期间举行。菲律宾作为当前11国东盟轮值主席国，将于周日起主办该峰会。
Washington, A meeting of the leaders of the Quad group comprising the US, India, Australia and Japan is likely to be held next week on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit, a senior US official said. Philippines is hosting the summit in its capacity as the current Chair of the 11-nation ASEAN from Sunday."
美国助理国务卿迪伦·约翰逊周六在X平台发帖称：“我们正在推动下周在东盟期间正式举行四方领导人峰会”，并驳斥了有关该机制在唐纳德·特朗普总统领导下正在弱化的报道。
And we are working to formalise a Quad Leaders Summit at ASEAN next week," US Assistant Secretary of State Dylan Johnson said in a post on X on Saturday, dismissing reports that the group was weakening under President Donald Trump.
约翰逊表示，美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥在过去两年里主持了五次四方外长会议，其中三次发生在过去六个月。他称，鲁比奥上任后的首通正式电话就是打给四方外长的，四国特使（sherpas）也保持着定期的月度通话和会议。
Johnson said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has held five meetings of Quad foreign ministers over the past two years, with three meetings taking place in the past six months. He said Rubio's first official call after assuming office was to the Quad ministers and the sherpas of the four-country group have had regular monthly calls and meetings."
约翰逊驳斥美国媒体网络门户Politico的一篇报道时说：“这是一个完全荒谬的观点……假新闻。”
This is an utterly ridiculous take… Fake News," Johnson said, refuting a report in a US media outlet.
Politico的报道称，特朗普总统花了两年时间发动贸易战、实行冷漠外交并拥抱北京，从而削弱了为遏制崛起中的中国而建立的这个四国亚太联盟。
President Donald Trump spent two years pursuing trade wars, aloof diplomacy and an embrace of Beijing that undermined the four-nation Asia-Pacific alliance created to counter a rising China, a report in the web portal Politico said.
四方机制创立于2007年，但次年因担心激怒中国而基本陷入停滞。
