New Delhi: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh recently met with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan to discuss critical strategic matters of mutual interest, marking a significant step in further strengthening the comprehensive global strategic partnership between India and the United States. This meeting took place just a day after both nations signed two pivotal agreements aimed at enhancing their strategic collaboration.
Singh arrived in the United States on Thursday for a four-day official visit, with the primary objective of deepening the multifaceted partnership between the two countries. His visit underscores the growing importance of Indo-US relations, particularly in the context of evolving global security dynamics.
Following his meeting with Sullivan on Friday, Singh expressed his satisfaction in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Delighted to meet the National Security Advisor of the United States, @jakesullivan, and share perspectives on key strategic matters of mutual interest.” This interaction is seen as a continuation of the ongoing dialogue between India and the US on critical security issues, reflecting the shared commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond.
The discussions are likely to have touched upon a range of topics, including defence cooperation, counter-terrorism efforts, and regional security concerns, particularly in light of the increasing geopolitical challenges in the Indo-Pacific region. This meeting is expected to further consolidate the defence and security ties between India and the US, contributing to a more robust and comprehensive global strategic partnership.
Singh’s visit and the ongoing high-level engagements highlight the mutual determination of both nations to work closely on matters of global and regional significance.
