New Delhi, Jan. 14 -- External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar held a phone conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during which the two discussed cooperation across key sectors including trade, critical minerals, nuclear cooperation, defence and energy.

In a social media post, Dr Jaishankar described the interaction as a "good conversation" and said both sides agreed to remain in touch on these and other issues of mutual interest.

The Jaishankar-Rubio call comes a day after newly appointed US Ambassador Sergio Gor indicated that there would be engagement between India and the United States on trade-related matters.
