India-US 2+2 Dialogue

India and the world Indo US

India is going to host inaugural 2+2 dialogue with United States in September 2018 in New Delhi.
The inaugural 2+2 dialogue was scheduled to be held in July 2018, but was postponed at last moment by US citing “unavoidable reasons”.
It was third time that 2+2 dialogue was postponed in the last six months. 2+2 Dialogue between India and US was agreed during visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to US in June, 2017.
It is similar to India-Japan 2+2 dialogue format between foreign and defence secretaries and ministers of the two countries. It replaces earlier India-US Strategic and Commercial Dialogue.
