The yardsticks to measure growing closeness tell their own story," Jaishankar added."Our collaboration has grown well beyond his bilateral scope and now has a visible impact on global impact as well; it could be addressing the COVID-19 challenge, taking climate actions, ensuring maritime security or promoting critical technology. What India and US do together will make a difference," he said.Speaking about the Indo-Pacific, he said: "A significant focus of our engagement pertains to the Indo-Pacific. We have seen, particularly over the last year, both an elevation and intensification of the Quad. Our achievements in this regard have a larger resonance.
