US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan will visit New Delhi on tomorrow and Monday and Washington expects discussions about the impact of Chinese upstream dams with Indian counterparts during the visit, a senior US official said late on Friday.

Washington also expected topics such as civilian nuclear cooperation, artificial intelligence, space, military licensing and Chinese economic overcapacity to be brought up while Sullivan is in the capital, the official said.

US officials will not be meeting the Dalai Lama during the visit, another US official said.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, meanwhile, will visit South Korea for talks next week, Seoul’s foreign ministry said on Friday, with the country mired in political turmoil as its impeached president resists arrest.

South Korea is a key security ally for Washington but the country has been wracked by a crisis sparked by President Yoon Suk-yeol’s failed martial law decree on December 3.
