The Missionaries of Charity was the first stop for Rubio when he visited India.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio alongwith his wife Jeanette D Rubio, on Saturday arrived at Nirmala Shishu Bhavan Missionaries of Charity, in Kolkata. The Nirmala Shishu Bhavan is a network of specialised children's homes managed by the Missionaries of Charity, the Roman Catholic religious congregation established by Mother Teresa in 1950.

Earlier, Rubio alongwith his wife, visited the Mother House in central Kolkata, the global headquarters of Saint Teresa's Missionaries of Charity. The last US Secretary of State to set foot in Kolkata was Hillary Clinton in May 2012.

During his four-day visit to India, Rubio made stops at the Taj Mahal in Agra and Amer Fort in Jaipur. In New Delhi he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and participated in the QUAD Foreign Ministers Meeting.

His visit also saw India and the United States on Tuesday sign a bilateral Critical Minerals Framework, marking a milestone in the strategic partnership between the two nations to ensure that the foundational elements required for advanced technology and energy are available within trusted networks.
