Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar shared information on social network X after meeting Mr. Michael Walts on the evening of December 27 in Washington DC.
The Indian diplomat expressed his "desire to work" with Mr. Waltz, who will succeed Mr. Jake Sullivan as National Security Advisor after Mr. Donald Trump is inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on January 20.
Earlier last month, Mr. Trump picked the leader of the Florida Republican Party as his national security adviser.
Mr. Waltz, 50, has held senior positions on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Select Committee on Intelligence.
The incoming national security adviser, with 27 years of experience in the US Army and National Guard, is no stranger to US-India relations. He is the Republican co-chair of the US-India Congressional Caucus, the largest national parliamentary group in the US House of Representatives.
Not only did he co-lead a US congressional delegation to India for the Independence Day celebrations last August, Mr. Waltz has also sponsored several India-friendly bills in the House of Representatives.
Earlier, Foreign Minister Jaishankar met US counterpart Jake Sullivan in Washington DC. The two sides held in-depth discussions on the progress of the strategic partnership and exchanged views on current regional and global developments.
At the meeting on the same day, Mr. Jaishankar and his US counterpart Antony Blinken reviewed the progress in US-India relations over the past four years and agreed that bilateral cooperation has been enhanced in many areas.
Mr. Jaishankar expressed confidence that the bilateral relationship will serve common and global interests.
The Indian foreign minister is currently on a visit to the US from December 24-29, meeting senior members of the outgoing administration of President Joe Biden as well as having introductory meetings with the senior leadership of the incoming administration of Donald Trump.
He also held meetings with the Indian Ambassador in Washington DC and the Indian Consuls General in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Houston and Atlanta.
