U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in India on Saturday on a mission to shore up a partnership battered by President Donald Trump’s tariffs and Washington’s renewed engagement with New Delhi’s rivals Pakistan and China.
Axar.az reports, citing CNBC, after landing in Kolkata, Rubio, a Roman Catholic, visited the headquarters of the humanitarian organization and religious group founded by Mother Teresa. He is set to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi later on Saturday before attending embassy events.
Rubio’s talks in India are expected to focus on trade, energy and defense cooperation, the State Department said. The four-day trip, Rubio’s first visit to the South Asian nation, will also include stops in Agra and Jaipur.
