According to an official release from the US embassy, New Delhi, Burns will meet with senior government officials and private sector leaders to discuss a broad agenda to further strengthen partnership between the US and India.

In the backdrop of release of Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, the Indian side is expected to raise the issue with Burns and Indian Government is expected to convey its disappointment over Pakistan's inaction against those responsible for the 26/11 attacks.
