Washington. The way China is continuously building dams after dams is increasing India's problems. And now America has also started interfering in this. Obviously, China's construction of dams at such high places is not acceptable to both India and America. This is the reason why US National Security Advisor (NSA) Jack Sullivan, who is visiting India, can also discuss this issue with New Delhi.

US NSA Jack Sullivan is visiting Delhi on January 5-6 and is expected to discuss with Indian officials the impact of dams being built by China, a senior US official said on Friday. Washington and its Western allies have long regarded India as a key power to counter China's growing influence in Asia and beyond.

A senior US official said ahead of Sullivan's visit, "We have seen in many places in the Indo-Pacific region that upstream dams built by China, such as in the Mekong region, can have serious environmental and climate impacts on downstream countries." The official also said that during this visit, the US will also discuss the problems that India is facing.

On the other hand, a day earlier on Friday, India said that it will continue to monitor China's plan to build a big dam on the Brahmaputra river in Tibet and will take necessary measures to protect its interests. Expressing its first reaction in view of the proposed dam, New Delhi urged Beijing to ensure that activities in the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra do not harm the countries located in the lower regions of the river flow.

The Indian government has conveyed its concerns to China over its plan to build a hydropower dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet, which flows into India. Chinese officials say hydropower projects in Tibet will have no major impact on the environment or downstream water supplies. Construction of the dam, which will be the world's largest of its kind and has an annual capacity to generate 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, was approved last month.

A US official said Washington expects to discuss issues such as civil nuclear cooperation, artificial intelligence, space, military licensing and Chinese economic overreach during the visit. Another US official said US officials will not meet the Dalai Lama during the visit.

Sullivan will also deliver a speech on India-centric foreign policy at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Delhi during his visit to India before leaving office. President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on January 20 and Congressman Michael Waltz will hold the post of National Security Advisor during his tenure.

Washington and New Delhi have grown closer in recent years, but there have sometimes been differences over issues such as the mistreatment of minorities, New Delhi's ties with Russia amid Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, and an alleged assassination plot against Sikh separatists on US and Canadian soil.
