External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday (local time) said there is no domain in which India and the US are not cooperating and the nature of our opportunities and challenges are such that they are more effectively addressed through a cross-cutting dialogue.Speaking at US-India 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue, Jaishankar said the collaboration between both the countries has grown well beyond its bilateral scope and has a visible impact on global issues including COVID-19, climate action, maritime security, and critical technologies.The minister said that the 2+2 Dialogue is intended to promote a more integrated approach to our partnership and this is becoming increasingly relevant as the scope and intensity of our engagement steadily increase."We can truly assert that there is virtually no domain on which we are not cooperating with each other, the nature of our opportunities and challenges are such that they are more effectively addressed through a cross-cutting dialogue," he said."As we meet for the fourth time we can take satisfaction in the strength of the progress that we have made whether it's our USD 160 billion trade account, our 200,000 students, our highest recorded investment levels, or our rapidly growing energy trade. 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.
