Sullivan is on an official visit to New Delhi from 13-14 June, at the invitation of Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. The two officials have frequently had in-depth meetings on a wide range of bilateral, regional, and international issues. A delegation of senior US government officials and leaders of the US industry accompanied Sullivan.

National Security Advisor of the US Jake Sullivan who is on a two-day India visit met his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval yesterday and held restricted discussions on regional and global issues of mutual interest.

Later, they both attended the second Track 1.5 discourse hosted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

The first edition of this dialogue was organised by the US Chamber of Commerce in Washington, DC on January 30 this year, according to the Ministry of External Affairs.
Addressing the gathering in Delhi, Sullivan said that US President Joe Biden was thrilled to see what is happening here and to watch how things unfold.

“As we look ahead to the State visit that PM Modi will be embarking upon in Washington next week, a number of the deliverables at that visit are not just bullet points on a page, they are fundamentally designed to remove obstacles in defence and high-tech trades and in taking away obstacles that have stood in the way of better collaboration among our scientists and researchers,” Sullivan said.
