New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday held crucial talks on security and trade with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who extended an invitation to the Prime Minister to visit the White House on behalf of US President Donald Trump.
The meeting focused on strengthening the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership, along with discussions on regional and global peace and security.
US envoy Sergio Gor, who accompanied Rubio during the meeting with PM Modi, said the discussions also focused on the Indo-Pacific region, where China has increasingly sought to expand its influence. The United States has long viewed India as a key strategic counterweight to China in the region.
“We had a productive discussion on ways to deepen U.S.-India cooperation across security, trade, and critical technologies – areas that strengthen both our nations and advance a free and open Indo-Pacific. India is a vital partner to the United States!” Gor wrote in a post on X.
