New Delhi: US vice-president J.D. Vance will travel to India this March, Politico has reported, quoting three sources familiar with Vance's travel plans.
Vance's wife, US's second lady Usha, is of Indian origin.
India is thus going to be the third foreign country Vance will visit after becoming vice-president. In his first foreign trip, he stopped at France and Germany in February.
"I am #WheelsUp on a multi-nation trip to the Indo-Pacific, a region I know very well having grown up as a child of the Pacific. I'll be going to Japan, Thailand, and India, with a brief stop in France enroute back to DC. Building strong relationships, understanding, and open lines of communication are vital to achieving President Trump's objectives of peace, freedom and prosperity. First stop: Honolulu where I'll visit IC partners and INDOPACOM leaders, and our troops engaging in training," Gabbard posted on X.
Gabbard, like Vance, also went to Germany to attend the Munich Security Conference in February.
Gabbard will address the Raisina Hill dialogue on March 18, according to the New York Times. She was invited by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who she met during the latter's US trip earlier this year.
