This programme aims to improve cooperation in areas like trade, defence, energy, tackling illegal immigration, fighting drug trafficking, and more. Jaishankar also said on social media that they discussed many issues such as trade, security, new technologies, energy, and global developments.
Jaishankar said that the Pahalgam attack “was an act of economic warfare. It was meant to destroy tourism in Kashmir, which was the mainstay of the economy. It was also meant to provoke religious violence because people were asked to identify their faith before they were killed”.
