This conversation highlights the strengthening strategic partnership between India and the United States, which is rooted in shared democratic values and mutual interests, as noted in an official White House statement.
During their discussion, Doval and Sullivan welcomed the progress in their bilateral relationship, particularly regarding initiatives like the upcoming Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET) Intersessional and the Indian Ocean Dialogue.
