Hegseth, according to a statement from the Ministry of Defence, reiterated "full support" from the United States (US) government in India's fight against terrorism.

The statement quoted Singh as telling Hegseth: "Pakistan has been exposed as a rogue state, fuelling global terrorism, and destabilising the region. The world can no longer turn a blind eye to terrorism."

Hegseth also expressed his condolences for the loss of lives in the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack, which India has linked to Pakistan.
