Emirati Jiu-Jitsu stars win 23 medals, athletes grab 11 medals, and People of Determination excel with 14 medals
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo landed in India on Monday, on the first leg of a five-day Asian trip aimed at strengthening strategic ties in the face of growing Chinese influence across the region.
Pompeo was met at New Delhi airport by US Ambassador Kenneth Juster, according to a pool report.
Pompeo is due to meet India’s Foreign Minister S Jaishankar on Monday evening, before he and US Defence Secretary Mark Esper hold a joint summit with Jaishankar and Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday.
Later that day, Pompeo and Esper will call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to a draft itinerary of the trip released by India’s foreign ministry.
The trip is part of the latest US effort to bolster allies against an increasingly assertive China, which has been making political and military inroads across Asia, analysts say.
Pompeo is due to travel to Sri Lanka and the Maldives, two Indian Ocean countries where China has financed and built various infrastructure, to the alarm of India and the United States.
India is locked in a military standoff with China on their contested Himalayan border.
Pompeo will end his trip, which comes in the final week before the US presidential election, in Indonesia.
