National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and his American counterpart Jake Sullivan held a telephonic conversation discussing various issues, including the Quad framework and upcoming high-level engagements. They reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening India-US relations based on shared values and strategic interests. However, the Ministry of External Affairs statement did not specify if they discussed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to Russia. This comes amidst recent comments by US Ambassador Eric Garcetti highlighting differing perspectives on strategic autonomy during times of conflict.
