US Secretary of State Tony Blinken spoke to Jaishankar, saying – India will have close cooperation in the Indian Pacific.
US Secretary of State Tony Blinken spoke to Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar over the phone. The talks were held for the first time between the two.
During this, he reiterated the strengthening partnership between India and the US and the US will have closer cooperation with India in the Indo-Pacific region.
Also discussed ways to improve new opportunities and meet common challenges in the region. This was the first conversation with Indian counterpart Jaishankar since Blinken took over as US Secretary of State.
State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Friday that he discussed Corona vaccination efforts, steps taken to expand regional development and bilateral relations, and issues of mutual concern.
He said Blinken underscored India’s role as a close US partner in the Indo-Pacific and underscored the importance of working together to expand regional cooperation, including the Quad.
Both agreed to work in close coordination on global issues and expressed a desire to meet soon.
The Indian Foreign Ministry stated that Jaishankar and Blinken expressed commitment to strengthen and expand the multilateral strategic partnership.
He praised strong defense and security ties, growing economic engagement, productive health care cooperation, and people-to-people relationships.
Recognizing the challenges of the post-Corona world, the two leaders agreed to work together to tackle global issues, including safe and inexpensive vaccine supplies.
He also reiterated his commitment to peace and security, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region.
Let us know that after assuming office, US Secretary of State Blinken has spoken to foreign ministers of dozens of countries including Canada, Mexico, Japan, and South Korea.
The Biden administration considers the Quad Group as the basis on which US policy can be formulated in the context of the strategically important Indo-Pacific region.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said this on Friday. He was speaking at an event organized by the US Institute of Peace, a parliament-funded think tank.
He said that the US will push forward the Quad Group of four countries. It is clear from this indication that the US is not in a mood to harbor China’s aggression in the Indo-Pacific region.
