Jaishankar to travel to US for UNGA High Level Session, likely to discuss Russia sanctions Bill
Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is preparing to travel to the United States, likely to discuss the recently passed Russia sanctions Bill. The move comes after U.S. President Donald Trump signed the legislation, allowing for penalties to be imposed on Russia's energy trading partners, including India. Jaishankar is set to attend the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York next week, where he will also hold bilateral meetings with U.S. officials.
The visit is aimed at addressing potential implications of the sanctions on the bilateral relationship between India and the U.S., as well as discussing the issue at high levels with various U.S. interlocutors. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill on Wednesday, and Indian officials have warned of the possible consequences for their bilateral ties with the U.S. President Trump is also attending the UNGA session, where he will deliver his second address to the UN assembly during his second term in office.
