New Delhi (NVI): India and the US will hold their Second ‘2+2’ Ministerial Dialogue on December 18 to take stock of the growing bilateral relations and provide strategic guidance for their further development.
At the Dialogue to be held in Washington, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will lead the Indian delegation.

In addition, both sides will exchange views on salient regional and global issues,” External Affairs Ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar said here today.
