Washington/New Delhi: US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will be in New Delhi on January 5 and 6 for a meeting with his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval, during which they will discuss a range of issues that span the bilateral partnership, the White House said.
White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby, making the announcement on Friday, said the two NSAs will discuss “a range of issues across the breadth of our partnership with India, from space, defense, strategic technology cooperation, all the way also to shared security priorities in the Indo-Pacific and beyond”.
During the visit, NSA Sullivan will also meet with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and other Indian leaders.
He will also visit the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, where he will be able to meet with young Indian entrepreneurs and “give a speech outlining the significant steps that the United States and India have taken together to strengthen our innovation alliance under the U.S.-India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology, otherwise known as iCET.”
“This will be Mr. Sullivan’s final trip to the Indo-Pacific region as National Security Advisor,” he said.
NSA Sullivan and EAM Jaishankar had met in Washington last week when the EAM was visiting the US.
