US House Speaker Paul Ryan met Indian Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar in Washington D.C., where Indian Ambassador to the US Navtej Sarna was also present.

“Defence co op has been a major area of success between US and India,and FS Jaishankar should emphasise that,” says Sarah Watson, Center for Strategic and International Studies.
