Foreign Secy Vijay Gokhale to meet US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; discussions on bilateral, global issues expected

During his meetings with top US administration officials in Washington this week, foreign secretary Vijay Gokhale will raise the issue of misuse of F-16 fighter jets and Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (Amraam) against India.

India has shared proof that the US supplied equipment, a large part of which was provided using funds under the war on terror initiative, was used when the Pakistani air force conducted a cross-border raid and targeted Indian fighter jets that had gone to counter them.
