But in view of the situation of the fluid in the wake of the struggle in West Asia, where the US has entered the war after bombing nuclear facilities in Iran, a final confirmation is awaited.
Jaishankar will also be able to abbreviate the US leadership on India’s position on the Israeli-Iran issue, as expressed by PM Narendra Modi after his conversation with Iranian President Masood Paizksian, in which he called for “dialogue and diplomacy”.
Sources said that if all go to plan, the meeting of quad foreign ministers will be hosted by US Secretary State Marco Rubio.
