The US Secretary of State has visited India for a short visit.
However, a protest was staged in front of the US embassy in New Delhi.
Pompeo’s tour is aimed at discussing long-standing security and energy ties with India, Russia and Iran.
Pompeo held talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
Pompeo is the first foreign leader to visit the country after Prime Minister Modi’s victory in the last election.
Pompeo arrived in India after a surprise visit to Kabul, Afghanistan.
However, a few days ago, India imposed new taxes on US imports.
That was after the US withdrew the concession granted to India to export goods to the US market without tax.
Some parties have suggested that this would be discussed during Pompeo’s visit.
Meanwhile, there were protests in India against the US Secretary of State’s visit.
It is significant that six opposition parties had the support of the government.
The protests took place in front of the US embassy in New Delhi.
