Summit message from the USA to Russia and China: Will the three great powers of the world sit at the same table?

Continuing his contacts in Asia, Rubio reached India as part of a two-day official visit.

In his post on the social media platform of US-based company X, Minister Rubio stated that he met with Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Mumbai.

Noting that they discussed energy security and defense cooperation issues during the meeting, Rubio stated that they emphasized the importance of advancing the strategic partnership between the USA and India.

In his statement to reporters after the meeting, Rubio emphasized that he has "very, very close" relations with India and that he is "optimistic" about the shape of the trade agreement to be signed between the two countries.

Stating that US President Donald Trump is willing to hold a tripartite meeting with the leaders of China and Russia, Rubio said that a possible meeting in which issues such as arms control will be discussed would be "a very positive thing for the world."

"I think the world will be a safer place when the leaders of the countries with the most powerful nuclear arsenals in the world are at least in contact with each other," Rubio said.

Stating that someone connected to the Kiev government said that Ukrainians died because the United States did not share intelligence, Rubio argued that this was "absolutely not true."

"I think the most important conclusion you have to draw is that there was no deliberate political direction to harm Ukraine," Rubio said.

Rubio said that companies in India have the capacity to refine the crude oil extracted in Venezuela and stated that he will hold talks with a company on this issue tomorrow.

In another post on X, Rubio noted that he had a tripartite meeting with Jaishankar and United Arab Emirates (UAE) Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed on energy security and economic issues.
