US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held delegation-level talks with External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar on the second day of his India visit, wherein he focused on "strategic" ties between Washington and New Delhi. In the opening remarks, he highlighted that the partnership between the two countries is one of the most important in the world.
"We have a lot to discuss and a lot to work on.. We are the two largest democracies in the world, and so that alone is a baseline for incredible cooperation. We have so many common interests that it makes all the sense in the world for us to continue to build upon," Rubio said, adding that the partnership is one of the most important ones the US has, and one of the most important ones in the world.
