It will also be the last gathering of all the current leaders of the Quad alliance, as both Biden and Japan's Fumio Kishida are stepping down from office. Biden recently announced that he will not run again for a second stint at the White House. Kishida also made his plans clear of not seeking re-election as the head of the Liberal Democratic Party.
