U.S. Intelligence Chief Tulsi in Delhi, Discussion to Include Bangladesh

U.S. National Intelligence (DNI) Chief Tulsi Gabbard has arrived in India as part of her Indo-Pacific tour. She landed in Delhi on Sunday and is set to attend a high-level meeting today. Intelligence chiefs from Australia, Germany, New Zealand, and other nations will also participate in the discussions.

According to the Times of India, Tulsi Gabbard is scheduled to meet India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. During her visit, Indian intelligence officials are expected to brief her on Bangladesh and Pakistan-related matters.

Tulsi Gabbard, a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, was recently appointed as intelligence chief from a military position. Her first international meeting was with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi last month, where Bangladesh and Pakistan were also discussed.

High-Profile Security Conference

Tulsi Gabbard is attending a major intelligence conference chaired by Ajit Doval. Intelligence heads from the Quad alliance (Australia, India, the U.S., and Japan) and representatives from the G7 nations will be present. The primary focus of the discussions will be enhancing intelligence-sharing mechanisms among these nations.

Bangladesh in Focus?

Since August 5, Bangladesh has been a recurring topic in India-U.S. high-level talks. It is expected to be a key subject in discussions between Doval and Gabbard. Previously, during Narendra Modi’s call with former U.S. President Joe Biden and his recent meeting with President Trump at the White House, Bangladesh was a point of discussion.

Additionally, Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar has raised Bangladesh-related issues multiple times in meetings with his U.S. counterparts, including Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

A significant issue has been the alleged persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh, which has caused discomfort in Dhaka-Delhi relations. Bangladesh’s interim government has dismissed these claims as exaggerated propaganda by Indian media, arguing that most incidents are politically motivated rather than religiously targeted.

While the exact agenda of the security conference remains confidential, sources indicate that the focus will be on modernizing intelligence-sharing strategies among participating nations.
