US diplomat, Indian ambassador discuss bilateral ties

A senior US diplomat met India’s ambassador to the United States on Tuesday in a bid to get bilateral relations back on track after the arrest and strip search of a female Indian diplomat and tit-for-tat evictions.

Deputy Secretary of State William Burns hosted a “productive” lunch meeting with Indian Ambassador S. Jaishankar and both sides avowed the importance of the U.S.-India strategic partnership and “discussed initial preparations for a range of upcoming bilateral meetings and exchanges,” a statement from the US State Department said.

“They agreed that the past several weeks have been challenging, and affirmed that we are both committed to moving forward to resume cooperation on the broad range of bilateral issues,” the statement said.
