External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar met Michael Waltz on Saturday. Michael Waltz is US President-elect Donal Trump’s nominee for National Security Advisor. S. Jaishankar is on his official visit to the United States from December 24 to 29.
EAM S. Jaishankar took to his social media handle and wrote, “Delighted to meet Rep. @michaelgwaltz this evening.” He added, “Enjoyed a wide-ranging conversation on our bilateral partnership and current global issues. Look forward to working with him.”
Waltz, 50, will replace Jake Sullivan as National Security Advisor on January 20, when Trump is sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.
Earlier on Friday, EAM Jaishankar completed a two-day conference with the Indian Embassy and Consuls General in Washington, DC.
He posted on X, “We concluded a very useful two-day conference of team @IndianEmbassyUS and our Consuls General in Washington, DC, today.”
“Confident from the deliberations that the continuous growth of the 🇮🇳 🇺🇸 partnership will be accelerated”, the tweet further read. Michael Waltz, a three-term Congressman from Florida’s sixth Congressional District, is the Republican Co-Chair of the Congressional India Caucus, the largest country-specific caucus in the US House of Representatives.
He co-led a Congressional delegation to India in August last year and attended Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort. He has also been involved in several India-related legislation in the House.
Trump announced Waltz’s appointment as National Security Advisor on November 12.
