NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on February 17 held talks with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken with a focus on key bilateral issues as well as the situation in West Asia, Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific.
The meeting took place in Munich on the sidelines of a security conference.
“Great to meet my friend US @SecBlinken this afternoon on #MSC2024 sidelines. Our talk centered on the situation in West Asia, Ukraine and Indo-Pacific. Reviewed the continuing progress in our bilateral ties,” S Jaishankar said on X.
There has been a major upswing in India-US ties in the last few years, especially in the spheres of defence and high-technology.
Over two weeks ago, the Biden administration notified the US Congress on its proposed supply of 31 MQ-9B Predator long endurance drones to India.
The move was seen as significant forward movement to firming up the mega deal that was announced during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington in June last year.
