U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin would be travelling to India for the 2+2 Ministerial dialogue with their Indian counterparts External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi this month, the State Department has said.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said that Mr. Blinken’s trip to India comes at the end of a more than a week-long trip — November 2 to November 10 — beginning with Israel and Jordan, following which he would continue with his Indo-Pacific travels to Japan, South Korea and India.
The exact dates of his trips to these countries have not been announced. In New Delhi, the U.S. delegation will participate in the 2+2 Ministerial dialogue.
