New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to host a dinner for JD Vance and his Indian-origin Second Lady Usha on Monday evening, after holding talks with the US Vice President focusing on trade, tariff, and several other key issues, media reports said.

The US vice president, along with his wife, Usha, and their three children- Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel- are scheduled to land at the Palam airbase here at 10 am on Monday.

They will arrive in India on a four-day visit.

The Vances will be welcomed on their arrival by a senior Union minister, said reports.

Besides Delhi, Vance and his family will travel to Jaipur and Agra.

At least five senior officials, including those from the Pentagon and the State Department, will accompany Vance during his India visit.

After arrival in Delhi, Vance and his family are scheduled to visit the Swaminarayan Akshardham temple and could also venture to a shopping complex selling traditional Indian handcrafted goods, media reports said.

At 6:30 pm on Monday, Modi will host Vance for talks that are expected to focus on an early finalisation of the proposed India-US bilateral trade agreement.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, and Indian Ambassador to the United States Vinay Mohan Kwatra are expected to be part of the Indian team.

Vance's visit to India will follow their trip to Italy.

In Rome, Vance is expected to meet with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is due to visit the White House on Thursday.

Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, will also meet with Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, according to his office.

He is expected to participate in ceremonies around Easter Sunday.
