"Deputy Secretary (of State William) Burns and NSA Menon discussed plans for Prime Minister Singh's upcoming visit to Washington, and affirmed our mutual commitment to continuing progress on civil-nuclear cooperation, regional security, economic cooperation, and combating climate change," a State Department spokesperson told PTI.
Menon met Burns last Friday and has held a series of meetings with other senior officials of the US Government in the White House and the Pentagon, during which he held consultations on a wide range of bilateral and regional issues.
