New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had a telephonic conversation and discussed current bilateral issues on Tuesday.
The conversation focused on bilateral and global issues, including the current state of affairs in the Indo-Pacific region. Both sides also exchanged New Year greetings.
“A broad-ranging conversation yesterday night with @SecBlinken. Covered current bilateral issues, Indo-Pacific and pressing global matters. Also exchanged New Year greetings,” Jaishankar said in a tweet.
The conversation between India and the United States comes at a time when the countries are preparing for the next edition of the “two-plus-two” foreign and defence ministerial talks.
The “two-plus-two” dialogue is likely to take place later this month or in February in Washington, US.
