U.S. National Security Advisor (NSA) Jake Sullivan will visit New Delhi from Jan.5 to Jan.6 for a capstone meeting with his Indian counterpart, NSA Ajit Doval, to discuss a wide range of issues spanning the U.S.-India strategic partnership. The agenda will cover space collaboration, defense cooperation, strategic technology partnerships, and shared security priorities in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
This meeting was confirmed by White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby on Jan.3.
During his visit, Sullivan will meet with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and other Indian leaders. He will also visit the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, where he plans to engage with young Indian entrepreneurs and deliver a speech highlighting the progress made under the U.S.-India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET). Sullivan will emphasize the significant steps both nations have taken to bolster their innovation alliance under this initiative.
Sullivan’s visit comes shortly after his meeting with External Affairs Minister Jaishankar in Washington, D.C., on Dec.26. Following their meeting, Jaishankar had shared on X (formerly Twitter) that they held "wide-ranging discussions on the progress of the India-US strategic partnership and exchanged views on current regional and global developments."
This trip will mark Sullivan’s final visit to the Indo-Pacific as the U.S. NSA. He expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming discussions, stating that he is "very excited and looking forward to these conversations at this critical time."
Strengthening the iCET partnership
A key focus of the visit will be to solidify the iCET, an initiative launched by the Joe Biden administration in January 2023, with Doval and Sullivan leading talks on cooperation across critical technology and strategic sectors. These discussions include collaboration on artificial intelligence, quantum computing, semiconductors, and space technologies.
This meeting will be the third high-level dialogue on the iCET since its launch. Sullivan previously visited India in June 2024 for the second round of talks, during which both sides agreed on the next steps to deepen their strategic technology partnership and pledged to eliminate long-standing barriers to strategic trade.
