US Secretary Mike Pompeo meets PM Modi


New Delhi, Jun 26 (IANS): US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Wednesday morning in his country's first high-level engagement with India after Modi returned to power with a thumping election victory.

Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar of the External Affairs Ministry tweeted: "Working together to further deepen our strategic partnership. Pompeo called on PM to exchange views on various aspects of Indo-US relationship."

The spokesman said that Modi will meet President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the upcoming G20 Summit at Osaka in Japan.

After meeting Modi, Pompeo headed for a meeting with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

The Secretary of State arrived in India on Tuesday night on a two-day visit.

    What an inspiring photo of PM Modi with international leader. From tea selling kid to PM of India... From being denied US visa to doing business with US and even giving a speech in The US Congress.
