**New Delhi, March 11, 2025** – US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will visit India as part of a multi-nation trip to the Indo-Pacific region, she announced on Monday. The trip, aimed at strengthening relationships and communication to further President Trump’s goals of peace and freedom, will also include stops in Japan, Thailand, and a brief layover in France.
Gabbard, the first female combat veteran to hold the DNI position, will begin her journey with visits to US Indo-Pacific Command leaders and troops in Honolulu. This trip marks her first visit to India since assuming her role in the second Trump administration.
Her visit follows a February meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington D.C., where Modi praised Gabbard as a “strong votary” of the India-US friendship. The two discussed various aspects of the bilateral relationship. Gabbard’s Indo-Pacific tour underscores the continued importance placed on the region by the US administration.
