India-US two-plus-two dialogue expected to take place in Delhi on Oct 26-27

The third edition of the two-plus-two dialogue between India and the US is expected to take place on October 26 and 27 here during which both sides are likely to carry out a comprehensive review of their strategic cooperation, people familiar with the development said on Thursday.

The report, citing officials who are aware of the matter, said US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Defence Mark Esper are scheduled to visit India on the said dates, whereas External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will represent India at the dialogue.

As the dialogue is taking place days ahead of the presidential election in the US, no major outcome is expected from it, said a source.
