Washington: National Security Adviser Ajit Doval has called on his US counterpart Susan Rice at the White House during which the two officials discussed bilateral and regional issues in addition to reviewing the counterterrorism cooperation between the two countries.

Doval is in the US to attend the Nuclear Security Summit this week which is being hosted by US President Barack Obama on March 31 and April 1.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who would lead the Indian delegation, is scheduled to arrive here tomorrow.
