 "China’s dangerous plan against India, worried America will talk to NSA Doval, read full information")
Washington: With the way China is building dam after dam continuously, India’s problems are increasing. Now America has also started interfering in it. Obviously, both India and America are not liking China’s construction of a dam at such a height. This is the reason why US National Security Advisor (NSA) Jack Sullivan, who is visiting India, can also discuss this issue with New Delhi.
American NSA Jack Sullivan is visiting Delhi on January 5-6 and is expected to discuss the impact of Chinese dams with Indian officials. A senior American official gave this information on Friday. Washington and its Western allies have long viewed India as an important power to counter China’s growing influence in Asia and beyond.
“We have seen in many places in the Indo-Pacific region that China’s upper dams, such as the Mekong region, are having serious environmental and climate impacts on countries downstream,” said a senior US official before Sullivan’s visit. ” The official also said that during this visit, the US will also discuss the problems faced by India.
A day earlier on Friday, India said it would continue to monitor China’s plan to build a large dam on the Brahmaputra river in Tibet and take necessary measures to protect its interests. In its first reaction to the proposed dam, New Delhi urged Beijing to ensure that activities in the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra do not harm countries downstream.
The Indian government has conveyed its concerns to China over plans to build a hydroelectric dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet. This river flows in India. Chinese officials say hydropower projects in Tibet will not have a major impact on the environment or water supply. Construction of the dam, which will be the largest of its kind in the world and have an annual capacity to generate 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, was approved last month.
A US official said Washington expected the visit to discuss issues such as civil nuclear cooperation, artificial intelligence, space, military licensing and Chinese economic overreach. Another US official said US officials will not meet the Dalai Lama during the visit.
Before stepping down, Sullivan will also deliver a lecture on India-centric foreign policy at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi during his visit to India. President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, and Congressman Michael Waltz will serve as National Security Advisor during his term.
Washington and New Delhi have become very close to each other in recent years. However, there have been differences at times over issues such as the mistreatment of minorities, New Delhi’s relationship with Russia during Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, and an alleged assassination plot against Sikh separatists on American and Canadian soil.
