NEW DELHI: US Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard arrived in India on Sunday as part of her multi-nation trip to the Indo-Pacific regions.
Gabbard will attend a high-level conference chaired by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, focusing on strengthening intelligence-sharing mechanisms to tackle terrorism and transnational crimes.
The event, set to take place in the national capital, will bring together intelligence chiefs also from Australia, Germany, New Zealand, and other key partner nations to enhance global security cooperation.
Tulsi Gabbardās visit to India comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modiās trip to the United States in February. During his visit, PM Modi met with Gabbard and described her as a strong advocate for India-US relations.
Gabbard, in turn, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to welcome Modi and emphasized her commitment to further strengthening ties between the two nations.
This marked PM Modiās first visit to the US since Donald Trump began his second term as President. During the trip, Modi met Trump at the White House, where they exchanged a warm embrace in their first official meeting since Trump took office as the 47th President on January 20.
Modi was among the earliest world leaders to visit the US after Trumpās inauguration and was invited within just three weeks of the new administration taking charge.
