This weekend in the national capital, discussions on the implications of the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflict in the Middle East are the two key agendas of top intelligence officials, who are scheduled to meet for a security conclave.
The conclave, chaired by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, will be attended by officials from 20 countries, including the US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) Director Daniel Rogers and Britain’s MI6 boss Richard Moore.
Rogers’s visit to New Delhi will be at a time when India and Canada are engaged in a diplomatic row over the killing of Separatist terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Vancouver in 2023. Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had alleged the role of Indian agents in the murder.
A senior official said, ‘The security and intelligence chiefs are likely to discuss ways to deal with terror financing as well as crimes in the digital space’.
The official added, ‘Deliberations on ways to enhance intelligence-sharing to combat terrorism and various transnational crimes are also on the agenda’.
