Putin's visit to India clouds timing of India-US ministerial dialogue

The timing of the 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue of the top diplomats and defence heads of India and the US that was expected to take place early next month is now under a cloud of uncertainty because of Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to New Delhi.
Asked at his briefing in Washington on Tuesday if the annual meeting has been pushed to January 2022, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said: "We have never announced a date for the 2+2... I can assure you that there will be an opportunity for a 2+2 before long."
