US Vice President JD Vance is set to visit India later this month, marking his second international trip since assuming office. The visit is expected to focus on strengthening bilateral relations, trade partnerships, and strategic cooperation between the two nations.
This trip follows his recent engagement with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the AI Action Summit in Paris, where they discussed US support for India’s energy diversification, nuclear collaboration, and AI-driven economic growth. Vance’s visit is also significant given India’s growing role in global geopolitics, emerging technologies, and defense collaborations.
Accompanying him on this trip will be Second Lady Usha Vance, who will visit her ancestral homeland in an official capacity for the first time. Her presence is expected to highlight cultural and diaspora ties between the US and India.
The itinerary is likely to include meetings with top Indian officials, business leaders, and diplomatic engagements, reinforcing the strategic partnership between the US and India in key areas such as trade, technology, and defense cooperation.
