India Today
US Deputy National Security Adviser Daleep Singh is set to travel to India this week coinciding with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's visit to New Delhi.
US Deputy National Security Adviser Daleep Singh, known to be a key architect of Washington's punitive economic sanctions against Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, is set to travel to India this week coinciding with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's visit to New Delhi.
The preparations for the upcoming '2+2' foreign and defence ministerial dialogue in Washington next month are also likely to figure during Singh's visit. The dialogue is likely to take place around April 11.
People familiar with the development said on Tuesday that details of the proposed visit by the US official are being worked out and indicated that it will take place around the same time when Lavrov is planning to visit India.
There is no official word on the US Deputy NSA's visit to India yet.
It is learnt that Lavrov is likely to arrive in India either on Thursday evening or Friday morning after concluding a two-day trip to China.
Singh's planned trip to India comes in the midst of a flurry of high-profile visits to the country which included British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and German Foreign and Security Policy Advisor Jens Plotner.
While Truss will visit India on March 31, Plotner will pay a day-long trip to New Delhi on Wednesday, the people cited above said.
