Rajnath Singh speaks to US counterpart Pete Hegseth amid tensions with Pakistan
The details of the conversation have not been disclosed yet; however, it comes against the backdrop of Pakistan's repeated ceasefire violations along the LoC for the seventh consecutive night
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday spoke to US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, official sources said.
It is learnt that the Pahalgam terror attack figured in the phone conversation.
Some details of the Singh-Hegseth phone talks are likely to be officially released shortly. Earlier, Dr Jaishankar informed that he spoke to Mr Rubio, who "reaffirmed the US' commitment to cooperation with India against terrorism." Dr Jaishankar, in his conversation with Mr Rubio, cited the "cross-border linkages" between the Pahalgam terror and Pakistan. However, Mr Rubio "encouraged India to work with Pakistan to de-escalate tensions and maintain peace and security in South Asia."
