She said that the main agenda of the meet will be to to develop andstrengthen strategic defence cooperation and to follow-on with what had transpired during the meeting with Secretary Defence Mattis. 

The two delegations were to meet first on April 18 and senior Indian officials were on their way to Washington for preparatory talks when president Donald Trump fired secretary of state Rex Tillerson and gave his job to Mike Pompeo. Set to take place in Washington on July 6, the dialogue was again postponed because Pompeo had to visit North Korea.
