US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the 2+2 ministerial Dialogue in New Delhi

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defence Secretary Llyod Austin have held talks with their Indian counterparts in New Delhi.

Both countries have expressed their desire to strengthen defence and strategic cooperation, especially in the Indo-Pacific.

The talks come ahead of an anticipated meeting between US President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping at the APEC summit next week. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be skipping that summit but experts say New Delhi is keen to have Washington's reassurance of support while tackling what it calls China's growing aggression in the region.
