U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrives in Kolkata, visits Saint Teresa’s Mother House

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio began his four-day visit to India in Kolkata, visiting Mother House (Missionaries of Charity) and Victoria Memorial. His agenda includes meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi to discuss trade, technology, defense, and the Quad. The visit to Mother House is highlighted as significant due to the recent suspension of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) license for Missionaries of Charity, an issue a U.S. Congressman urged Rubio to raise. Kolkata's historical importance in U.S. diplomacy is also noted.
