Kaine reports in from India

U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine has concluded a four-day trip India, during which he travelled with U.S. Sen. Angus King. He's moving on to Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Kaine chairs the Senate's Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Near Eastern and South and Central Asian Affairs. Due to Shad Plank's noticeable lack of being India, we're just going to drop a couple paragraphs of Kaine's press release here:

In New Delhi, the senators met with senior Indian defense and foreign affairs officials, including National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Members of Parliament and leading strategic commentators. They discussed the success of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to the United States and ways to continue to advance the relationship, including increased economic cooperation and closer defense ties. The senators also visited a USAID project site that supports improved sanitation efforts in New Delhi.

In Mumbai, highlighting robust U.S.-India economic ties, the senators met with leading Indian and American business leaders as well as visited the Mazagon Docks, a publicly-owned shipyard, to discuss the Indian shipbuilding industry and ways the U.S. and India can further collaborate. The senators also paid their respects to victims of the 26/11 terrorist attack and visited Mani Bhavan, a home to Mahatma Gandhi whenever he was in Mumbai that is now a museum.
