US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to visit New Delhi next month after a 'productive meeting' with India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on key issues, including trade and the Quad.
Misri met Rubio at the White House, reviewing bilateral relationships, especially trade, critical minerals, defence, and the Quad.
US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, who was present at the meeting, posted on X, saying, 'Welcome to the White House @VikramMisri! Productive meeting with @SecRubio that focused on our bilateral relationship, especially trade, critical minerals, defence and the Quad.'
Earlier, Misri held separate meetings with US Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau and US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Allison Hooker.
Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau met with Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri today in Washington, reaffirming the close partnership between the two countries and sharing news about the situation in the Persian Gulf and other global and regional priorities.
Hooker said she and Misri discussed how India and the US can work closer together on security, defence, and the economy, 'We are finding practical ways to make both Americans and Indians safer and more prosperous, including through the Quad.'
The Indian embassy in the US said Hooker and Misri took stock of the India-US bilateral agenda since the Foreign Office Consultations held last December.
