US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is to visit India on July 19 for strategic talks with Indian leaders, a spokesman for the Indian foreign ministry said on Friday. India's External Affairs Ministry is hosting the second India-US Strategic Dialogue in New Delhi after Clinton presided over the first round of talks in Washington last year.
"We are working on a programme" for Clinton's visit, the foreign ministry spokesman told AFP. The spokesman did not elaborate on the subjects to be addressed during Clinton's visit but regional security was expected to be high on the agenda. Clinton's visit will follow a meeting next week in New Delhi of the India-US High Technology Co-operation Group which seeks to promote the use of advanced technologies, an Indian foreign ministry statement said.
