The Indo-US 2+2 dialogue on Tuesday will have onboard a key landmark defence pact that will provide for sharing of high-end military technology, geospatial maps and classified satellite data between their militaries. Both sides are expected to have on table a plethora of key and strategic issues including China's attempts to expand influence in the Indo-Pacific region as well as its aggressive military manoeuvres in eastern Ladakh. Michael Kugelman, deputy director of the Asia Program at the Wilson Center in Washington, said that there won't be any "big surprises" or "major developments" in the crucial 2+2 meet ahead of the U.S. Presidential election. Kugelman, during his conversation with India TV, noted that such meetings between India and the U.S. would continue even if Joe Biden comes to power.
