During an interaction with the media, he said that overall, the India-US ties are in a "good place"

The world's two biggest democracies, India and the United States, do not only have a "narrow relationship" focused on bilateral benefits; rather, it has an impact on the rest of the world, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told a group of Indian media on Wednesday after a four-day official visit to the American capital, Washington DC.

He continued by saying that there is still a lot of opportunity for the partnership to develop and that both nations have acknowledged its immense capabilities and promise.

"If you look at the India-US relationship, it's not a narrow relationship only devoted to each other's gains. Our relationship today impacts the rest of the world, definitely does the Indo-Pacific," he pointed out.

Jaishankar began his four-day visit with a meeting with the diaspora on Sunday before meeting with his American counterparts, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and five lawmakers, including Senator Mark Warner and Congressman Ami Bera.

Later, EAM Jaishankar also conducted conferences with American businesspeople. He said that his visit was "very comfortable" and that he had "good conversations." He said,

"There are a lot of countries who look to us individually or bilaterally, some part of the betterment, which they hope for, the solutions which the world is searching for, in many respects."

Furthermore, EAM Jaishankar said that overall, the India-US ties are in a "good place."

"If you look, our trades been doing well, our political exchanges have been very solid. There might be some process issues on visas, but in terms of actual movement of people, it's on a longer timeframe again, being quite positive," he noted.
