Top global intelligence chiefs, including U.S.’s Tulsi Gabbard, to attend India security conclave focusing on terrorism and global challenges.
The U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Canadian spy chief Daniel Rogers and Britain’s MI6 boss Richard Moore will be among top global intelligence czars converging in India this weekend to attend a security conclave, sources familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval will chair the India-hosted conclave on March 16, which is expected to deliberate on ways to enhance intelligence sharing to combat terrorism and various transnational crimes.
Intelligence chiefs of Australia, Germany, New Zealand and several other friendly countries of India are also expected to join the deliberations to be held in New Delhi.
Ms. Gabbard is visiting India as part of a multi-nation tour of Japan, Thailand and France.
It will be the first high-level visit to India by a top official of the Donald Trump administration.
Besides attending the intelligence chiefs’ conclave, Ms. Gabbard is likely to address the Raisina Dialogue and hold a one-on-one meeting with NSA Doval. It is learnt that the U.S. Director of National Intelligence (DNI) will arrive in India on March 15 after concluding her trip to Thailand. Last month, Ms. Gabbard met Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Washington DC.
The conclave of the security and intelligence chiefs is expected to bring together heads and deputy heads of the intelligence and security organisations of around 20 nations. In their deliberations, the intelligence chiefs are also expected to focus on various global challenges including the implications of the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflict in West Asia. The security and intelligence chiefs are also likely to discuss ways to deal with terror financing as well as crimes in the digital space, the people cited above said.
