India's foreign minister defended the country's ties with North Korea and Iran during talks on Wednesday while the US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson aimed to build robust relations between the two giant democracies.
The Trump administration has launched a new US effort to increase military and economic ties with India.
In talks with Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj
Cheap Philippe Coutinho Jersey , both sides pledged to strengthen anti-terrorism cooperation and Tillerson said Washington stood ready to provide India with advanced military technology.
"The US supports India's emergence as a leading power and will continue to contribute to Indian capabilities to provide security throughout the region," Tillerson told a news conference with Swaraj.
But the talks also touched on India's diplomatic ties with North Korea, Swaraj pointed out, at a time when the US has stepped up efforts to isolate Pyongyang over its nuclear and missile programs.
Swaraj said she told the top US diplomat that some level of diplomatic presence was necessary to keep open channels of communication.
"As far as the question of embassy goes
Cheap Pedro Chirivella Jersey , our embassy there is very small, but there is in fact an embassy," she said.
"I told Secretary Tillerson that some of their friendly countries should maintain embassies there so that some channels of communication are kept open."

India, a former leading light of the Non-Aligned Movement and which was on the opposite side of the US during the Cold War, still remains wary of any alliances with major powers lest it affect its autonomy.
India has also maintained ties with Iran which is being targeted by the Trump administration for its alleged military support of extremist groups in the Middle East and for its ballistic missile program.
India has long sourced its oil from Iran

New Delhi is pushing hard for the development of Chabahar port on the Iranian coast as a hub for its trade links to the resource-rich countries of central Asia and Afghanistan but the Trump administration's tough stance has raised new concerns over the future of that project.
But Tillerson struck a conciliatory stance on India's ties with Iran, saying it wouldn't come in the way of countries doing legitimate business there.
"It is not our objective to harm the Iranian people nor is it our objective to interfere with legitimate business activities that are going on with other businesses, whether they be from Europe, India or agreements that are in place or promote economic development and activity to the benefit of our friends and allies

BEIJING, Spet. 25 (Xinhuanet) -- BlackBerry unveiled the square-screened Passport phone at events around the world Wednesday.
The Canada's once-dominant but fallen smartphone maker is said to try to win back customers with the startling design of Passport and a good story of the new product.
Passport has the size and shape of an actual passport, which BlackBerry calls "the international symbol of mobility." Its screen is a near-perfect square and three lines of physical keys grace the bottom of the phone.

The newly released smartphone has a 4.5-inch square display (1440 by 1440 pixels) that is 30 percent wider than a typical 5-inch smartphone screen. It's capable of delivering 60 characters across each row, in contrast to the 40 characters which is common on a rectangular smartphone display.
