The Kashmir issue never popped up during the discussion between US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Narendra Modi when they met at the White House this week, senior US officials have said.

Obama, however, supported Modi's efforts to invite leaders of the neighbouring countries, including Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and establish better relationshipwith them, administration officials said.

"I'm almost 100 per cent sure that the word Kashmir actually did not come up (during Obama-Modi talks)," Phil Reiner, senior director for India at the National SecurityCouncil at the White House, told a select group of foreign correspondents in a media round table.

He was responding to a question whether the Kashmir issue was discussed during the talks.
