According to official statements, both leaders reviewed the significant progress made in India-US relations and reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening their comprehensive global strategic partnership across multiple sectors.
The discussion also focused on the evolving situation in West Asia, particularly the importance of maintaining peace and stability in critical maritime routes.
