National Security Advisor Ajit Doval had held a meeting with Tulsi Gabbard in New Delhi on Sunday. According to sources, Tulsi Gabbard met NSA Doval in New Delhi on Sunday evening, and they had a detailed discussion on several facets of the India-US relationship.
Tulsi Gabbard is visiting India as a part of her multi-nation visit. The Asia leg of Gabbard’s trip will culminate in an address on March 18 at the Raisina Dialogue, a multinational gathering of security officials in Delhi, to which Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited her.
There, Gabbard will hold bilateral meetings with Indian officials and officials from other countries, The New York Times reported, citing a Trump administration official. Her visit to India follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the US in February. During his visit, PM Modi met with Tulsi Gabbard and called her a “strong votary” of the India-US friendship.
Gabbard also called it an “honour” to welcome PM Modi and said she looks forward to continuing to strengthen the US-India friendship. This was PM Modi’s first visit to the United States after Donald Trump assumed office for a second term.
