In talks with Marco Rubio, Jaishankar flags India concerns over Russia sanctions
In their first official meeting following President Donald Trump's signing of the Russia sanctions Bill, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar raised India's economic and strategic concerns with Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a bilateral discussion in New York. The meeting occurred on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session.
Rubio is set to visit India next month. Jaishankar reiterated India's interests and concerns regarding the SRIA (Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act) during the conversation. They also discussed the Gulf and Ukraine situations. India has expressed its commitment to ensuring energy security for its 1.4 billion citizens but warned of potential implications for the US-India relationship due to the US sanctions on Russian oil and gas.
Rubio, in his post, stated that both nations are strengthening the US-India strategic partnership and coordinating on key regional priorities and upcoming multilateral efforts.
