"Had a wonderful interaction with leading think-tanks," Modir tweeted after the meeting.
Representing the think-tanks were Brookings Institute, Council on Foreign Relations, Center for American Progress, Atlantic Council, Hudson Institute, Center for National Interest, Global Energy Capital, Carnegie Endowment, Asia Group, Pew Research Center, the US Institute of Peace and Foundation for Defence of Democracies.
Reports quoted Indian Amassador to the US Arun K Singh as saying that the objective of the meeting was to understand how the think-tanks understand the global trends and challenges and what could the US and India do.
"The aim of the interaction was to understand from them, how they see global trends in the coming years, the challenges and what US and India could do together for the world, keeping in mind among the templates that the Prime Minister has articulated. What can US and India do together for the world...Was really the theme," he said.
"Current global issues were discussed in the medium and longer term perspective. And we looked at opportunities and ways to be able to work together...In a way that would meet India's national interest and of course would be of interest to the US," Singh said.
