New Delhi: US Vice President JD Vance landed in New Delhi for a few hours with his India-primitive wife Usha and his three children, and held talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The bilateral trade agreement focused on the welfare of the people of both countries. “The agreement may be completed this fall.
A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office on Monday night also said the two leaders “pointed that efforts continue to strengthen cooperation in energy, defense, strategic technology and other areas” as part of a global strategic partnership between the United States and India. It added that they “exchanged views on various regional and global issues that are mutually beneficial and called for dialogue and diplomacy as a path forward”. Secretary of External Affairs S. Jaishankar and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval also participated in the meeting and participated in the “Senior Member of the U.S. Government.”
The PMO statement said Modi “conveyed his warm greetings to U.S. President Donald Trump and said he was looking forward to President Trump’s visit to India later this year” (with four summits). It said that at the meeting, Mr. Modi also “thinks about his visit to Washington, D.C.” and had a “reproductive discussion” with President Trump in February, then “set a roadmap for close cooperation between India and the United States, taking advantage of the advantages that make the United States outstanding again (Maga) and Viksit Bharat (Develop India) 2047”. It can be pointed out that in China in the region, the two countries also have strong defensive links. Another important aspect of their relationship is the initiative of Key and Emerging Technologies (ICETs) launched a few years ago, in which strategic cooperation has been deepened and expanded across key technology areas, including space, semiconductors, advanced telecommunications, artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence, quantum, quantum, biotechnology and clean energy.
The schedule for Mr. Modi’s residence on Monday night appears to have three components, the second is a formal meeting and the third is a dinner hosted by Mr. Modi for the Vance family and the accompanying U.S. delegation. First, it was an informal chat, with Mr. Modi chatting enthusiastically with Mr. Vance and his wife Usha, the couple’s three children – sons Ewan and Vivek and daughter Mirabel. Mr. Modi initially welcomed the Vance family warmly in his residence when they arrived. Later, the video showed them all sitting in the living room, and Mr. Modi and the Vance couple watched the three children interact cordially, expressing their fun. Mr. Modi also gave the children a peacock feather. Peacock is an Indian national bird. The children were fascinated, and the camera also showed Mirabel swaying her smiling father with her feathers. The children wear formal and traditional Indian costumes.
In the later formal talks, the second lady of the United States and her three children participated in the puppet show. Mr. Modi “extended his best wishes to the Vice President, the Second Lady and his children for a pleasant and productive accommodation in India”, the PMO said. The U.S. Vice President and his family began a four-day visit to India, which would also lead them to Jaipur and later Agra. Mr. Vance and his family met with Mr. Modi in Paris in February and watched on the AI summit hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron.
It was the first visit from the U.S. since the Trump administration announced reciprocity tariffs in many countries, including India, before reopening it for 90 days earlier this month, with the exception of China. Since last week, terrorist and Pakistan-born Canadian citizen Tahawwur Rana was extradited to India last week, the first time the United States has visited as he faced justice in the 26/11 attacks in the November 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack.
Meanwhile, it knows that “several” Indian students in the U.S. have received communication from authorities to understand the status of their F1 (student) visas, the MEA said. The United States is reportedly seeking to terminate visas for more foreign students, including Indians, in the crackdown on deportation that began last month, allegedly participating in pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses or taking an anti-Israeli stance on its social media platforms.
On Monday morning, upon his arrival, the U.S. Vice President and his family were welcomed by Railroad and I&B Secretary Ashwini Vaishnaw. As the Vance family rose with performances by Bharatanatyam, the children were all wearing Indian costumes. Later, the Vance family visited the huge and magnificent Akshadham Temple near the banks of the Yamuna River. “Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and kindness and welcome to this beautiful place with my family. The honor of India is that you have built a beautiful temple of precision and caring. Our children, especially love it. God bless you. “They were given a traditional welcome after which they had ‘darshan’. A carved wooden elephant, a model of the Delhi Akshardham Temple and children’s books were given to the family,” a priest at the temple told PTI, which also cited temple volunteer Meera Sondagar as saying that vice-president Vance was Especially captured by the intricately-sculpted Gajendra Peeth, a plinth adorned with the carvings of an elephant symbolizing strength and wisdom. To quote Ms. Sundargar, “He was shown the entire Akshadham complex and deeply moved by the experience. He said he felt peace here. ”
The Vance family then visited the Central Bungalows Industrial Mall on Janpath, where they purchased some traditional Indian crafts. PTI quoted Meera Somani, general manager of CCIE, as saying: “It was a great visit and he (Vance) was very enthusiastic. He also bought some items from our showroom.” It also reported that mall staff said the Vance family bought wooden items, handloom products and copper pipe companies. “They were delighted to see Indian handicrafts and handloom products under a roof”, also citing an employee, Anil Rajak.
On Tuesday, Mr. Vance and his family will visit Jaipur where the vice-chairman will speak on the policies of the Indian Union and the Trump administration. They may also visit the Amber Fort there. On Wednesday, they will head to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal and then return to the United States on Thursday.
