The Israel-Hamas conflict, the Ukraine war and the situation in the Indo-Pacific figured in a meeting between external affairs minister S Jaishankar and US secretary of state Antony Blinken on the margins of the Munich Security Conference on Friday.

Jaishankar also met UK foreign secretary David Cameron and Josef Borrell, the European Union’s (EU) foreign and security policy chief, on the margins of the conference in Germany and discussed bilateral ties and a range of global issues.

“Great to meet my friend US @SecBlinken this afternoon on #MSC2024 sidelines. Our talk centered on the situation in West Asia, Ukraine and Indo-Pacific. Reviewed the continuing progress in our bilateral ties,” Jaishankar posted on X without giving details.
