Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Monday held wide-ranging talks focusing on enhancing the overall India-US strategic ties, especially in areas of defence and information sharing.
Gabbard arrived in the national capital early Sunday on a two-and-a-half-day trip in the first high-level visit to India by a top official of the Donald Trump administration.
In a social media post, Singh said he was “happy” to meet the US national intelligence chief and that they discussed ways to further deepen the India-US partnership.
“We discussed a wide range of issues which include defence and information sharing, aiming to further deepen the India-US partnership,” he said.
Gabbard’s talks with Singh came a day after she met National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and attended a conclave of global intelligence czars in the national capital that was hosted by India.
