'India one of most important strategic partners': Marco Rubio tells EAM Jaishankar

Rubio said the wide range of areas in which both countries cooperate reflected the strength of ties between Washington and New Delhi. "The list of issues that we work together with India on, the breadth of scope of them, is what highlights the fact that India is an important strategic partner in the United States, one of our most important strategic partners in the world," Rubio said. Rubio also referred to the democratic values shared by both countries.
