Antony Blinken, Lloyd Austin to visit New Delhi next week for ‘2+2’ dialogue

The Hindu  

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin will travel to New Delhi next week for the ‘2+2’ meeting with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, according to the U.S. State Department. Mr. Blinken’s visit to New Delhi is part of a larger November 2-10 trip to Tel Aviv, Amman, Tokyo and Seoul. There are also differences between Washington and New Delhi in their approach to Sheikh Hasina’s government in Bangladesh — particularly responses to concerns over the conduct of elections in January 2024. The Modi government’s record on democratic norms and rights, especially with regard to minorities, has been a concern in Washington, while New Delhi has bristled at the raising of the topic, blaming ‘vote bank politics’.
