A senior US diplomat in United Nations will travel to India from October 27-29 to participate in a UN counter-terrorism meeting and address important issues between New Delhi and Washington.

India is set to host a UN Counter-Terrorism Committee meeting in Mumbai and Delhi on the overarching theme of ‘Countering the use of new and emerging technologies for terrorist purposes’.

“Ambassador Chris Lu, U.S. Representative for UN Management and Reform, will travel to Mumbai and New Delhi, India from October 27-29 to address issues of counterterrorism, as well as the important relationship between the two countries,” the US mission in United Nations said in a media note.

While in New Delhi, Ambassador Lu will serve as Head of the Delegation in a special meeting of the UN Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee focused on threats posed by emerging technologies, it said.

“In Mumbai, Ambassador Lu will participate in a wreath-laying ceremony in honor of the victims of the 26/11 terrorist attack. The Ambassador will also meet with graduate students from the Indian Institute of Democratic Leadership to hear their aspirations and discuss the essential role public service plays in democracy,” the press noted added.
