Washington: 

Top Indian-American US adviser and a key architect of Washington’s punitive economic sanctions against Moscow, Daleep Singh, will arrive in India for a 2-day visit today to discuss the “consequences” of Russia’s “unjustified war” against Ukraine and the development of an Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, the White House has announced.

Mr Singh’s trip coincides with the visit of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov who is likely to arrive in India either on Thursday evening or Friday morning after concluding a two-day visit to China, reported news agency Press Trust of India.

Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economics Daleep Singh will be in New Delhi on March 30 and 31, the White House said on Tuesday.

“(Daleep) Singh will consult closely with counterparts on the consequences of Russia’s unjustified war against Ukraine and mitigating its impact on the global economy,” said Emily Horne, spokesperson of the National Security Council of the White House.
