Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday met US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Washington and discussed ways to further the bilateral ties, amid the diplomatic row between India and Canada over the killing of a Khalistani separatist.

"Good to be back here. And we, of course, had the prime minister here this summer. Thanks to the US for all the support to the G20 Summit," Jaishankar said while appearing before the media along with Blinken ahead of the meeting held at the State Department.

Blinken said he had "very good discussions" over the last few weeks including at the G20 and on the margins of the UN General Assembly session in New York.

He said he was looking forward to his discussions with the Indian counterpart.
