Washington DC, Mar 30: US Deputy National Security Adviser Daleep Singh, a key architect of Washington's punitive economic sanctions against Moscow, will be going to visit India today. He will be in the capital on Wednesday and Thursday.
His visit comes at the time when Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov, is also going to visit India.
"On March 30th and 31st, Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economics Daleep Singh will be in New Delhi to continue our ongoing consultations with the Government of India, and advance a range of issues in the U.S.-India economic relationship and strategic partnership," said US National Security Council spokesperson Emily Horne in a statement.
During his visit, Singh will meet with Government of India officials to deepen cooperation to promote inclusive economic growth and prosperity, and a free and open Indo-Pacific.
Singh will consult closely with counterparts on the consequences of Russia's unjustified war against Ukraine and mitigating its impact on the global economy, the statement said.
Singh will also discuss the priorities of the Biden Administration, including the promotion of high-quality infrastructure through Build Back Better World and the development of an Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, the statement added.
