New Delhi, June 27 (IBNS) The United States has postponed the high-level "2+2 dialogue" with India scheduled in Washington next week.

India's foreign ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar tweeted that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and expressed regret over the dialogue postponement.

"US @SecPompeo spoke to EAM @SushmaSwaraj a short while ago to express his regret and deep disappointment at the US having to postpone the 2+2 Dialogue for unavoidable reasons," he tweeted.

"US @SecPompeo sought EAM @SushmaSwaraj understanding, and they agreed to identify new mutually convenient dates to hold the Dialogue at the earliest, in India or the US," the tweet read. 

Sushma Swaraj and Indian Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman were supposed to hold talks with their American counterparts Mike Pompeo and James Mattis next week.
