The meeting was followed by talks between the two leaders against the backdrop of ongoing negotiations for a bilateral trade pact.

It is expected that the two leaders will discuss ways to further expand India-US global strategic ties as well as New Delhi's concerns over Washington's trade policy.

Following talks between Prime Minister Modi and US President Donald Trump in Washington DC in February, the two sides announced that they would negotiate the first tranche of the bilateral trade agreement by the fall of 2025.

After the talks, the prime minister will host a dinner for Vance, his Indian-origin wife Usha Chilukuri and the delegation of senior US government officials accompanying the vice president.

Vance and his family landed in Delhi this morning on a four-day India visit after their trip to Italy over the weekend.

He is the first US vice president to visit India in 12 years after Joe Biden visited New Delhi in 2013.

Vance's first visit to India comes weeks after US President Donald Trump imposed and then paused a sweeping tariff regime against around 60 countries including India.
