Gen Myers to visit India, US may renew request to send troops

Indraprasth, July 26 - With a fresh UN resolution on Iraq
to give a broader mandate to enable more countries to
participate in stabilisation force on the cards, the US
is likely to renew its request to New Delhi to send
troops to Iraq, during the two-day visit from Monday of
the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General
Richard B Myers.

Myers, who would be the first top most US official to
visit India, weeks after it turned down a proposal to
send troops to Iraq, would hold intensive negotiations
with National Security Advisor Brajesh Mishra and top
defence officials, including Chairman of the Chief of
Staffs Committee Admiral Madhvendera Singh.

During his two-day visit here, Myers would also hold
talks with the Army Chief Gen NC Vij and the new Defence
Secretary Ajay Prasad who is also the co-chairman of the
Indo-US Defence Policy Group (DPG).

Besides, military-to-military interaction, India is
likely to ask the US for an institutional tie-up to
enable it to interact with US Central Command besides the
Hawai-based pacific command.

New Delhi's request for such a tie-up would be logical if
India is to send troops to Iraq which falls under the
American Central Command and also oversees US interests
in Gulf, Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan.
