The four-day India-US Homeland Security dialogue between Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and his American counterpart Janet Napolitano will begin here today.
Threats from terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and al-Qaeda, illicit financing and transnational crimes are high on their agenda.
Both the sides are expected to take stock of the existing mechanisms such as the Joint Working Group on Counter-terrorism and the Counter-terrorism Cooperation Initiative in advancing Indo-US cooperation.
The Home Minister will also have meetings with FBI Director Robert Mueller and US Attorney General Eric Holder.
Shinde would be visiting The Ground Zero in Boston where recent bomb attack took place during a marathon race.
