The United States is rallying India to tackle pressing security issues, with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo soon to embark on his first trip to New Delhi as the top U.S. diplomat.

Pompeo and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis will hold high-level talks with India’s foreign minister, Sushma Swaraj, and defense minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, September 6, also known as the U.S.-India 2+2 dialogue.

“The 2+2 is a major opportunity to enhance our engagement with India on critical diplomatic and security priorities,” said a senior State Department official, adding the dialogue is “a strong indication of the deepening strategic partnership” between the world’s largest democracies.

Curbing oil imports from Iran

Halting Indian oil imports from Iran and reducing the South Asian country’s reliance on Russian arms are said to be high on the agenda.

The U.S. is pushing all countries to end Iranian oil purchases as Washington seeks to thwart Teheran’s financial revenue. India is a major buyer of Iran's crude oil.
