Jaipur: Jaipur, one of the most vibrant cities in India, is gearing up for a historic occasion as it prepares to host the Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, his wife, Usha of Indian origin, and their three children on April 21. This visit marks a two-day State affair, which is both personal and official.
According to officials, the focus of his visit is crucial, and it will include meetings with industry leaders and government officials here. Vance will also likely address a conference at the Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre (JECC), a notable engagement amid ongoing trade and tariff tensions between India and the US.
Ahead of Vance’s Pink City visit, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma held a high-level meeting with top civil and police officials to review security and other agencies at his residence. The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary (CS) Sudhansh Pant, Director General of Police (DGP) Utkal Ranjan Sahoo, and the additional CS (Home), among others.
Sharma directed the officials to make top arrangements for Vance and his family and comply with protocol standards and the coordinated action plan.
The CM also expressed hope about the scheduled visit of the foreign dignitary, saying, “It is a good thing for us that we are getting the opportunity to host the Vice President of America. There should be no lacunae in his welcome and security,” he said.
