The meet is crucial as the defense and security of the Indian Ocean Region have been pegged as key focus areas of Blinken’s visit.

The meeting comes at a time when the US has retreated troops from Afghanistan which is becoming the hotbed of Taliban movement threatening peace and security of its neighboring areas too.

Mr. Doval is likely to speak about American pressure over Pakistan to give up its constant encouragement of terrorism activities with other countries too. In response, Mr. Blinken has said that he sees no need for a military solution in Afghanistan and that both India and the US are committed to bringing forth a peaceful solution to the whole problem. 

While lauding the shared commitment of the two countries to democratic values, Blinken also cited business cooperation, educational engagement, religious and spiritual ties, and ties between millions of families as some of the key pillars of the overall relationship.
