Singh also met Deputy National Security Advisor Tony Blinken.

They discussed “the full range of issues that underpin our strategic partnership,” said Laura Lucas Magnuson, spokesperson of the National Security Council.  

“The United States also accepted India's invitation to serve as a partner country for India's technology summit and expo in New Delhi in the fall of 2014, further intensifying our broad scientific cooperation,” Psaki said.

“Both (India and the US) wants elections to take place.  Both of us want an election that has as many parties as possible. I think there is a common interest for everybody around to see, Bangladesh a stable and an end to the violence,” sources said.
