US Vice President JD Vance has arrived in India on his first official visit.
Upon his arrival in Delhi around 9:30 am, Vance received a ceremonial guard of honour.
Vance is the highest-ranking US official to visit in President Donald Trump’s second term. Last month, intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard visited India.
India and the United States are currently engaged in talks to reach a bilateral trade agreement. Vance’s meetings in India, including with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will be focussed on discussions around the trade deal. The delegation-level talks are also expected to include External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, and Indian US envoy Vinay Mohan Kwatra.
Vance will be in India for four days and will visit Jaipur in Rajasthan and Agra in Uttar Pradesh.
