The Quadrilateral group or the Quad is an informal group which includes the trade ministers of the European Union, the United States, Japan and Canada. It was first suggested during a private meeting during the 7th G7 summit in July 1981. Initially, a trilateral group was proposed (excluding Canada) because of tensions between the two North American countries at the time but eventually, the Canadian Government successfully lobbied to be included.[1] The European Commission has avoided formalizing the group because of resistance from certain European Union members, particularly France, who resent their lack of direct involvement.[1] Quadrilateral Meetings of Trade Ministers Location | Dates[1] |
