Vance’s visit comes two months after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held talks with US President Donald Trump at the White House.
Vance’s tour also includes a trip to Agra, home to the Taj Mahal, the white marble mausoleum commissioned by a Mughal emperor.
Modi, 74, and Vance, 40, are expected to “review the progress in bilateral relations” and also “exchange views on regional and global developments of mutual interest”, India’s foreign ministry said last week.
“We are very positive that the visit will give a further boost to our bilateral ties,“ India’s foreign ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told reporters last week.
‘Special bond’
Beijing has responded with duties of 125 percent on US goods.
After the tariffs were announced, India’s Department of Commerce said it was “carefully examining the implications”, adding it was “also studying the opportunities that may arise”.
Trump, speaking while unveiling the tariffs, said Modi was a “great friend” but that he had not been “treating us right”.
While the United States is a crucial market for India’s information technology and services sectors, Washington has made billions of dollars in new military hardware sales to New Delhi in recent years.
Trump could visit India later this year for a summit of heads of state from the Quad -- a four-way grouping of Australia, India, Japan and the United States.
