WASHINGTON: US conservative champion Sarah Palin, who has faced charges of a lack of foreign policy experience as she considers a White House run, will visit India next month, an aide said on Wednesday.
Rebecca Mansour, a top adviser to the former Alaska governor, tweeted that Palin would visit India next month and linked to a schedule listing her as a speaker at the annual conclave of magazine India Today.
Palin will deliver a keynote dinner address on March 19 in New Delhi, entitled "My Vision of America," the schedule said.
The magazine seeks prominent speakers each year for the event. Other invited speakers include feminist writer Germaine Greer, Egyptian opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Indian occupied Kashmiri Syed Ali Glani.
She famously said that Alaska's proximity to Russia gave her experience and had only gone overseas to greet US soldiers serving in the Middle East before Senator John McCain picked her as his running mate.
Palin's decision to visit India comes as the United States increasingly seeks closer relations with the world's largest democracy.
