External Affairs Minister Jaishankar to Attend Donald Trump's Oath- Taking Ceremony
External Affairs minister S. Jaishankar will attend the swearing-in ceremony of US President-elect Donald Trump, the Ministry of External Affairs announced on Sunday (January 12). This comes after Jaishankar received an invitation from the Trump-Vance inaugural committee.
"On the invitation of the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee, External Affairs Minister (EAM) Dr. S. Jaishankar will represent the Government of India at the Swearing-In Ceremony of President-Elect Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States of America," said the MEA press note.
During his visit, Jaishankar is expected to meet with representatives of the incoming Trump administration, as well as other visiting dignitaries, the press note added.
The press release was conspicuously silent on whether the invitation for the ceremony on January 20 was in the name of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Jaishankar would be sent instead.
So far, foreign media reports have suggested that invitations were extended to heads of state or, in one instance, a former head of state. However, the MEA press release did not specify whether the invitation was addressed to a particular individual or if the recipient was named.
This development comes after Jaishankar's recent visit to the US, where he met with Trump's choice for National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, along with talks with officials from the outgoing Biden administration, including US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
