As per reports, he will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss broader strategic issues and opportunities for enhanced cooperation between the two nations.

Tomorrow, Sullivan will participate in an India-US iCET Roundtable with Industry CEOs organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry, aimed at fostering collaboration between private sector leaders from both countries.
