Washington:
Republican leader Sarah Palin will make her first trip to India next month to attend a conference and speak on her vision of America.
The conservative former Alaska Governor, who was the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008 elections, has often been criticised for her lack of understanding on matters of foreign policy.
Her unsuccessful run as John McCain's potential deputy notwithstanding, she has dropped hints that she was considering a 2012 presidential run as the Republican candidate.
Her programme was revealed, by her top advisor Rebecca Mansour, in a tweet which also gave a link to the schedule of the conference.
Palin would deliver the dinner key note address on 'My Vision of America' and she would also be the chief guest of a gala dinner.
The decision of Palin to travel to India was welcomed by some in the Indian American community. Indian American Conservative Council chairman Dino Teppara noted that Palin has been a strong pro-business conservative voice. "It is only fitting that Governor Palin travel to New Delhi since India is an economic partner with the United States, with both nations benefiting from USD 50 billion in
annual trade, along with mutual cooperation in the global war on terrorism," Teppara said.
"We appreciate Governor Palin's strong, pro-business positions and congratulate her for making India her first international destination, since our two nations share unique political and cultural synergies in our bilateral relationship," he said.
