In April, Clinton would lead a high-powered US delegation to India. The NSA first met Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs William Burns. Thereafter, he met Clinton at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the State Department.
Later in the day, Menon met his American counterpart Tom Donilon at the White House. Menon's visit to the US has been at the invitation of Donilon.

He is scheduled to continue with his meetings today.
