The dialogue was initiated in 2007 by Japanese Prime Minister [[Shinzo Abe]], with the support of Australian Prime Minister [[John Howard]], Indian Prime Minister [[Manmohan Singh]] and U.S. Vice President [[Dick Cheney]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=10 March 2021|title=Australia has been in a stalemate with China, but that could be about to change|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-11/the-quad-leaders-meeting-china-trade-test-relationship/13234080|access-date=29 March 2021|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|language=en-AU}}</ref> The dialogue was paralleled by [[Military exercise#Types|joint military exercises]] of an unprecedented scale, titled [[Malabar (naval exercise)#2002–2007|Exercise Malabar]]. The diplomatic and military arrangement was widely viewed as a response to increased Chinese economic and military power.
The Quad ceased in 2008 following the withdrawal of Australia during [[Kevin Rudd]]'s tenure as prime minister, reflecting ambivalence in Australian policy over the growing tension between the United States and [[China]] in the Indo-Pacific. Following Rudd's replacement by [[Julia Gillard]] in 2010, enhanced military cooperation between the United States and Australia was resumed, leading to the placement of [[United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marines]] near [[Darwin, Northern Territory|Darwin]], overlooking the [[Timor Sea]] and [[Lombok Strait]]. Meanwhile, India, Japan, and the United States continued to hold joint naval exercises under Malabar.
