The meeting, which comes ahead of Barack Obama's visit to India in November, is being described as a "preparatory to the summit" by top US officials.
Foreign secretary Nirupama Rao is set to meet US secretary of state Hillary Clinton in Washington in what officials termed as a "preparatory to the summit" ahead of the November visit of US president Barack Obama to India.
The meeting between Rao and Clinton, scheduled to take place at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the State Department shortly, is likely to be attended by several other top US officials, including under-secretary of state for political affairs William Burns and assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asia Robert Blake.
The meeting, which comes ahead of Obama's visit to India in November, is being described as a "preparatory to the summit" by the officials.
Rao yesterday met her US counterpart Burns to discuss bilateral issues, besides the situation in the region including Afghanistan. The two officials also reviewed the progress made following the Indo-US Strategic Dialogue held early this year between Clinton and external affairs minister SM Krishna.
Rao would also co-chair the Strategic Security Dialogue with under-secretary of state for arms control and international security affairs Ellen Tauscher at the Department of State.
Besides, she would participate in the US-India Global Issues Forum along with Blake.
