NEW DELHI—India will hold a top-level strategic dialogue with the United States in the first week of September, India’s defense minister said on Friday, July 13, after the United States last month postponed the meeting for a second time this year.

So-called two-plus-two talks were agreed by U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year.
