India and the US to establish a new
two-by-two ministerial dialogue
The decision by India and
the US to establish a new two-by-two ministerial dialogue has been welcomed by
top American experts who believe that it would enhance strategic coordination
between the two nations. US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed to enhance peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region by establishing a new two-by-two ministerial dialogue, which would elevate their strategic consultations, according to the White House.
This is a very welcome
development. Having a joint State-Defence conversation with India makes much
more sense than having a State-Commerce dialogue because the convergence
between the two countries is much greater on strategic issues in comparison to
commercial issues
The new format would include
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Defence Minister Arun Jaitley and their American counterparts Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defence Secretary James Mattis.
This will be helpful to
coordinate more closely on Afghanistan, the Indian Ocean, developments in the
Asia Pacific, and hopefully also on the Middle East (West Asia for India)
