U.S. Defense Secretary to visit India Sunday

Xinhua, April 9, 2016 Adjust font size:

U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter will arrive in India Sunday on a three-day visit, sources said Saturday.

During his India tour, Carter will visit both the national capital and the western state of Goa at the invitation of Indian Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar, the sources said.

On the eve of his visit, the U.S. Defense Secretary has said that Washington has a "whole global agenda" with India covering all issues.

"The days are gone when we only deal with India as the other side of the Pakistan coin, or Pakistan as the other side of the India coin," he said in New York. Endit
