India and US Hold Routine Diplomatic Discussions Amid Global Tensions

India has maintained that the recent discussions between National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, were routine diplomatic engagements. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, confirmed during a press briefing that such interactions often address bilateral matters.

Jaiswal stated that these routine talks focus on issues of bilateral significance and take place regularly between India and the US. He further noted that External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has been actively communicating with several foreign ministers in the GCC and West Asia as tensions continue in the region.

India, according to Jaiswal, consistently advocates for diplomacy in resolving the West Asia conflict.
