The two leaders reiterated the strength of the India-US relationship to advance peace, prosperity, and security in the Indo-Pacific and around the globe, a spokesperson of the State Department said on Thursday.
India and the US have explored ways to boost cooperation in the resource-rich Indo-Pacific region where China has been trying to spread its influence. The issue was discussed extensively during the third round of the India-US Maritime Security Dialogue which took place in Goa in 2018.
The US has been pushing for a broader role by India in the strategically important Indo-Pacific region.
India, the US and several other world powers have been talking about the need to ensure a free, open and thriving Indo-Pacific in the backdrop of China's rising military maneuvering in the region.
"Both leaders agreed to continue close cooperation on a full range of regional and international issues and look forward to Quadrilateral consultations and the US-India 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue later this year," Brown said.
In November 2017, India, the US, Australia and Japan had given shape to the long-pending Quadrilateral coalition to develop a new strategy to keep the critical sea routes in the Indo-Pacific free of Chinese influence.
The first 2+2 dialogue was held in New Delhi in September 2018 after the mechanism was approved by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump.
During the call, Jaishankar and Pompeo discussed the ongoing bilateral and multilateral cooperation on issues of international concern, including efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, support the peace process in Afghanistan, and address recent destabilising actions in the region, Brown said in a readout of the telephonic conversation.

New Delhi: PTI: The government on Thursday appointed Girish Chandra Murmu as the new Comptroller and Auditor General of India, a day after he resigned as the Lt Governor of Jammu and Kashmir.
Murmu will succeed Rajiv Mehrishi who completes his term on August 7.
"...the President has been pleased to appoint Shri Girish Chandra Murmu to be the Comptroller and Auditor General of India with effect from the date he assumes charge of his office," a notification by the Department of Economic Affairs said.
Earlier in the day, President Ram Nath Kovind accepted Murmu's resignation as the first Lieutenant Governor of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Former union minister and senior BJP leader from Uttar Pradesh Manoj Sinha was appointed in his place.
Murmu, a 1985-batch IAS officer, had abruptly submitted his resignation on Wednesday -- the day the union territory marked the first anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
The 60-year-old former IAS officer of the Gujarat cadre had on October 29 last year taken over as the Lieutenant Governor after the state was split into two UTs -- Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
Murmu was Expenditure Secretary in the Ministry of Finance when he was appointed as the Lt Governor of Jammu and Kashmir. He also served as Principal Secretary to Narendra Modi during his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister.

Describing it as a barbaric crime, Kejriwal said he had spoken to the police chief and a hunt was on for the attacker. "I have spoken to the Police Commissioner. Police are trying to nab the accused. The govt will ensure strict punishment for them and will provide Rs 10 lakh to her family members," he said. Before going to the hospital, Kejriwal wrote on Twitter that the savage assault 'had shaken him to the core, adding that 'such predators roaming free cannot be tolerated'.

The trial conducted by All India Institute of Medical Sciences for convalescent plasma therapy on Covid-19 patients has not shown much clinical benefit in reducing fatality risk caused due to the virus.
Dr Randeep Guleria, Director at AIIMS, said, more evidence is needed to conclude anything. Current evidence suggests that convalescent plasma is safe, does not cause any harm to a patient. But at the same time, it is not very effective and hence should be used prudently.
Doctors involved with the trial say, say convalescent&nbsp;plasma is not a magic bullet. While there may be a certain set of patients who benefited&nbsp;from it, a lot of work still has to be done.
The institute completed a randomised control trial to assess the efficacy of plasma therapy recently with two groups of 15 Covid-19 patients.

With heavy&nbsp;rain crippling Mumbai, the city has been put on red alert after receiving&nbsp;the highest rainfall of the season within&nbsp;12 hours on Wednesday.

India has reportedly snubbed China's demand for moving back forces in Ladakh. India firmly told China that it will not move back any further in the region along Pangong Lake, as military commanders of the two sides continue discussions on disengagement in Eastern Ladakh, reports said. In the last meeting, India rebuffed China's demand that its troops vacate a critical post to facilitate further disengagement. China wanted India to remove a critical post called the Dhan Singh Thapa post located on Finger 3 for Chinese forces to move back. But India has refused to do so, since the post on Finger 3 is within Indian territory.

India on Thursday lashed out at China after its failed attempt to raise Kashmir at the United Nations Security Council on behalf of Pakistan, rejecting the attempted by Beijing to interfere in India&rsquo;s internal affairs.
In a statement, the external affairs ministry underlined that this was not the first time that China has sought to raise a subject that is solely an internal matter of India.
"We firmly reject China&rsquo;s interference in our internal affairs and urge it to draw proper conclusions from such infructuous attempts,&rdquo; the ministry statement said.
China had backed Pakistan&rsquo;s request to the UNSC to discuss Kashmir on Wednesday to coincide with the first anniversary of the revocation of the special status extended to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. But four of the five permanent members &mdash; the US, UK, France and Russia &mdash; sided with India.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the temple took place on Wednesday in Ayodhya with Prime Minister Narendra Modi performing the &lsquo;bhoomi pujan&rsquo; of the temple, bringing to fruition the BJP&rsquo;s &lsquo;mandir&rsquo; movement that defined its politics for three decades and took it to the heights of power.
