Keshap thanked Shringla for the warm welcome and productive discussion on US-India cooperation.
''Foreign Secretary @harshvshringla welcomed Ambassador Atul Keshap, US Charge d'Affaires @USAmbIndia. They discussed the COVID pandemic, India-US relations and regional issues and agreed to maintain the momentum of bilateral engagement in these difficult times,'' Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi tweeted.
