Deputy Secretary of State Sherman's visit opportunity to deepen India-US strategic ties

The visit of Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman to New Delhi was an opportunity for the US to deepen its strategic partnership with India and engage substantively with some of the key interlocutors on pressing regional and global security challenges like the situation in Afghanistan and the Indo-Pacific, a top US official has said.
Sherman, during her three-day visit, held extensive talks with Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval during which the recent developments in Afghanistan, the need to counter cross-border terrorism and ensure peace and stability in that country, including through implementation of a UN Security Council resolution figured prominently.
