US Vice President JD Vance to Visit India for Four Days<\/strong><\/p>\n Today marks the beginning of United States Vice President JD Vance’s four-day visit to India. This trip comes shortly after India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s visit to Washington, and follows US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard\u2019s trip to India last month.<\/p>\n Vance is traveling with his wife, Usha Chilukuri, and their three children. Notably, this visit is significant as it is the first time in over ten years that a sitting US Vice President has visited India, the last being Joe Biden in 2013.<\/p>\n Key Meetings and Discussions Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n During the visit, Vance is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Prime Minister\u2019s residence later today. The main focus of their discussion will likely be on a long-awaited bilateral trade agreement, as well as following up on important points from the joint statement made during Modi\u2019s visit to Washington in February.<\/p>\n The meeting will also include India\u2019s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Minister Jaishankar, along with a high-level delegation from the US, which consists of senior officials from both the Pentagon and the State Department.<\/p>\n Important Themes to Monitor<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the Ministry of External Affairs, Vance\u2019s visit presents a great opportunity to assess how well both countries are advancing their bilateral relations and to review the outcomes of their previous discussions. Topics will also include global and regional security issues, specifically looking ahead to the upcoming Quad summit to be hosted by India in the fall.<\/p>\n Previously, Vance met Modi in Paris on February 11 during an AI summit, where they discussed the involvement of the US in India’s civil nuclear sector\u2014an issue likely to come up again during today\u2019s talks, along with potential sales of F-35 fighter jets and increasing energy exports to India.<\/p>\n After Vance\u2019s visit, Indian and US officials will continue discussions in Washington starting April 23, focusing on finalizing the terms of the trade agreement. These discussions will cover around 19 chapters, addressing areas such as tariffs, non-tariff barriers, and customs facilitation.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" US Vice President JD Vance to Visit India for Four Days Today marks the beginning of United States Vice President JD Vance’s four-day visit to India.
