"Met US National Security Advisor @JakeSullivan46. India is committed to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership for global good," Modi said on 'X'.
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said Sullivan briefed Modi on the progress in various areas of bilateral cooperation, particularly under the iCET such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, telecom, defence, critical minerals, and space, among others.
"The prime minister expressed satisfaction at the speed and scale of the growing bilateral partnership in all areas and the convergence of views on regional and global issues of mutual interest," the PMO said in a readout.
It said Prime Minister Modi recalled his recent positive interaction with US President Joe Biden at the G7 summit in Italy.
The prime minister reaffirmed commitment to continue to strengthen comprehensive global strategic partnership for the global good and take it to greater heights in the new term.
In Doval-Sullivan talks, the two sides firmed up a number of significant initiatives to bolster cooperation in several key areas.
Sullivan is visiting Delhi from June 17 to 18, in the first trip to India by a senior Biden administration official after the Modi government came to power for the third term.
He is accompanied by a high-level delegation comprising senior US government officials and industry leaders.
Sullivan's visit to India came three days after Prime Minister Modi and President Biden had a brief conversation on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Italy's Apulia region.
The top Biden administration official also met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.
