Christina Rocca to visit India on Saturday

US Assistant Secretary of State (South Asia) Christina Rocca will hold talks with senior government officials, heads of business and non-governmental organisations and consult colleagues in her country's embassy during a visit to India on Saturday, state department spokesman Richard Boucher said.

"Rocca's current visit to South Asia is undertaken as part of her regular responsibilities to go out and talk to people, consult with them, understand the situation and discuss current developments," he said at a briefing on Friday.

Rocca has already visited Bangladesh and Maldives and is currently in Sri Lanka.

Her last stopover in the region will be New Delhi.

Rocca will not go to Pakistan or Afghanistan though they are also in the South Asian bureau.
