Ahead of U.S. President Barack Obama’s proposed visit to India on Republic Day, Secretary of State John Kerry and Ambassador to India Kathleen Stephens will attend the three-day Vibrant Gujarat Summit from January 11.
“They will lead the U.S. industrialists and businessmen’s delegation to the seventh edition of the Gujarat government’s biennial flagship event,” a State government release said.
The U.S. India Business Council has already agreed to join the mega event as the official partner organisation. Heads of several large corporations, including the U.S. India Business Council and MasterCard CEO Ajay Banga, are scheduled to attend the Summit.
The government said eight nations would participate as country partners, while the U.S. contingent would comprise 90 delegates.
