Foreign Secretary of India, Harsh Vardhan Shringla met US Senior Director in the White House National Security Council Sumona Guha here on Wednesday and discussed India-US strategic partnership and regional issues of interest.

Both of the diplomats have interacted on the India-US strategic partnership and regional issues of interest, according to the Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi.

"Foreign Secretary @harshvshringla interacted with US Senior Director in the White House National Security Council @SumonaGuhaDC on the India-US strategic partnership and regional issues of interest," Bagchi said in a Tweet.

Separately, Shringla also met Tomas Niklasson, a special envoy of the European Union for Afghanistan and discussed the current situation in Islamic Emirate.

"Foreign Secretary @harshvshringla met @tomas_niklasson EU Special Envoy for Afghanistan today. Exchanged views on the current situation in Afghanistan. Agreed to continue the ongoing coordination between India & EU on Afghanistan," the MEA spokesperson tweeted.

Afghanistan is facing a severe humanitarian crisis. A combination of a suspension of foreign aid, the freezing of Afghan government assets, and international sanctions on the Taliban, have plunged a country already suffering from high poverty levels into a full-blown economic crisis, Amnesty International said in a statement.
