The talks between Jaishankar and Sullivan emphasized the ongoing collaboration between both countries, which has become more robust over time, particularly in security and geopolitical areas of mutual concern.
Consul Generals' Meeting in the US
On Friday, Jaishankar met with India’s Consul Generals across major cities in the US, including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Houston, and Atlanta. In this series of meetings, Jaishankar discussed ways to further deepen the US-India partnership, with particular attention to opportunities in technology, trade, and investments. The discussions also focused on how the Indian diaspora in the US could be better served, reinforcing the importance of the Indian community in fostering stronger bilateral relations.

Jaishankar’s visit underscores India’s growing influence on the global stage and its increasingly vital partnership with the United States. The dialogue on trade, technology, defence, and regional security will continue to be central to these discussions as both nations look to unlock new opportunities for collaboration.
The US-India relationship remains one of the most strategic and important in the world, and the meetings between Jaishankar, Blinken, and other senior US officials indicate a strong commitment to building on the progress made in recent years. As both countries look towards a future of shared prosperity, the next steps will focus on strengthening this vital alliance.
