Neither man spoke about controversy that has disrupted Canada-India ties in very brief comments to reporters. US statement following the meeting also makes no mention of Hardeep Singh Nijjar's assassination.

Blinken and Subrahmanyam Jaishankar met on Thursday at the State Department as the US tries to navigate the dispute between its northern neighbour and the South Asian partner critical to its Asia-Pacific strategy to counter China's vast influence in the region. But a US statement after Blinken met his Indian counterpart made no mention of Hardeep Singh Nijjar's murder or of Canada as a whole.
Earlier on Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he had been told Blinken would address the matter and encourage the Indian government to cooperate with an investigation into the killing.
