US Assistant Secretary of Defence for Asian and Pacific Security Affairs, Randall G Schriver said in Washington that the leaders will talk about regional issues and strategic issues, but they are also going to have a set of actual concrete outcomes.
Describing this as a historic meeting, Mr Schriver said the two countries are working on a set of enabling agreements in the defence sector.
