India's external minister S Jaishankar and US secretary of state Antony Blinken met each other in Washington and discussed global developments and laid the groundwork for a 2+2 meeting during their wide-ranging talks.

However,  on the current diplomatic tensions between India and Canada over the Nijjar's killing in British Columbia, New Delhi and Washington remained tight-lipped.

News agency PTI reported that Blinken refused to respond to reporters’ questions about the controversy.

The Canadian Prime Minister felt disappointed as US had Secretary of State Antony Blinken didn't raise any allegations made publicly about India's role in Nijjar's murder during the meeting with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.

"The Americans have been with us in speaking to the Indian government about how important it is that they be involved in following up on the credible allegations that agents of the Indian government killed a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil," he said.
