However, the EAM did not get into further details on the same and said that "I don't think it's appropriate".

Jaishankar had also attended the first Quad ministerial meeting of the new Donald Trump administration on Tuesday and held the first bilateral meeting with Rubio shortly after.

In addition, Jaishankar also raised India's concerns over prolonged visa delays with Rubio, saying that these delays impact business, tourism, and the overall relationship. He had said that the relationship is not "well-served" if it takes that many days for people to get a visa._Agencies.
