New Delhi: On the second day of his India visit, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a bilateral meeting with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar at the Hyderabad House in Delhi before departing for Agra on Monday morning.

What did Marco Rubio say?

During delegation-level talks with EAM S Jaishankar, US State Secretary Marco Rubio said that, “It has already been a fantastic first day. We’re looking forward to our visits and our talks today and learning more about the country.

“As you’ve highlighted, the United States and India aren’t just allies; we’re strategic allies, and that’s of critical importance. We obviously work with countries all over the world and all over the region on a variety of issues as they emerge, but our strategic partnership is what sets this relationship apart, because it’s not simply limited to a region," he said.

US State Secretary Marco Rubio further said that, "It extends to opportunities to cooperate globally in different regions of the world, and that includes potentially in the Western Hemisphere and places like that."

During the talks with EAM Jaishankar, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that, "We have a lot to discuss and a lot to work on. We are the two largest democracies in the world, and so that alone is a baseline for incredible cooperation. We have so many common interests that it makes all the sense in the world for us to continue to build upon. This is not about restoring or reinvigorating. I've seen people use that terminology. This is about continuing to build on what is already a very solid and strong strategic partnership. One of the most important ones that we have, and one of the most important ones in the world..."

What were EAM Jaishankar's opening remarks during meeting with Rubio?

During delegation-level talks with Rubio, EAM Jaishankar said, “We have a comprehensive global strategic partnership, which I think in plain language means that we have a very deep, very broad-based cooperation and a relationship that impacts and influences other regions and the world. That is because we have converging interests on many issues and in many parts of the world. I look forward to our conversation today. These are complicated times, but as strong partners, I’m very confident we’ll have very open and productive discussions.”
