External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on August 4 discussed the situation in Sri Lanka, developments in Myanmar, and other pressing global challenges at a meeting in Phnom Penh.
It is understood that the rising tensions between China and Taiwan following U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's high-profile visit to Taipei also figured in the talks that took place on the margins of an ASEAN conclave in the Cambodian capital.
"A warm conversation to start meetings on sidelines of ASEAN Ministerial in Phnom Penh. Discussed the ever strengthening India-US relationship and the global situation with U.S. Secretary of State @SecBlinken," Mr. Jaishankar tweeted.
