2+2 Dialogue  

Hello and welcome to this episode of The Handshake, my name is Amal Chowdhury and today we will be talking about the 2+2 dialogue going to happen between India and the USA in Washington. The first-ever Indo-US ministerial 2+2 dialogue on American soil is expected to be a “highly qualitative and productive” meeting during which some key agreements that will augment the bilateral security ties could be signed, according to senior officials.

The second round of the US-India 2+2 dialogue will take place on 18 December after an endless parley between the two nations. An agreement on industrial security will be signed during the meeting that will allow the transfer of critical defence technology. Let's talk about the importance of this.
