New Delhi:After the meeting between external affairs minister S. Jaishankar and American secretary of state Marco Rubio in New York late on Monday evening (IST), the United States on Tuesday said that “India is a relationship of critical importance” and both sides will continue cooperation, including within the four-nation Quad. The US assertion comes despite the lack of clarity regarding whether India will host the Quad summit this year or if President Donald Trump has any plans to visit India. The third setback came soon after when the Trump administration drastically raised the fee for H-1B visas to a staggering $100,000. Breaking the ice after the strain in ties, the US President had called up PM Narendra Modi last week. New Delhi had also said it remains committed to taking this special partnership with the US to "new heights".
