Donald Trump Jr has landed in India here he hopes to sell luxury apartments in a new $1.5bn development near Dehli.

Acting as head of the Trump organization, he is attempting to entice buyers to the homes in Trump Towers Delhi, which will feature 254 apartments in two 47-story towers when it is complete in 2023, with prices ranging from $850,000 to $1.7 million per unit.

The trip is raising eyebrows among some because President Trump has also been working to strengthen ties with India, and Ivanka traveled to the country last year just as sales started on the units.

But Mr Trump Jr - accompanied by secret service security - has argued that he has been developing business connections in India for years.

President Trump has also been working to strengthen ties with India, with his daughter Ivanka travelling to the country last year just as sales started on the units.

Mr Trump Jr - accompanied by secret service security - has argued that he has been developing business connections in India for years.

He posed for photos Tuesday morning with Indian developers, who are building Trump complexes in four cities.

Later in the week, he is scheduled to make a speech about Indo-Pacific relations at a New Delhi business summit, sharing the stage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Don Jr. is flying in ahead of the project's groundbreaking ceremony, and buyers who commit to purchasing a unit this week have been promised a seat at a dinner with President Trump's oldest son according to The New York Times.

A full-page advertisement featured on the front pages of several Indian newspapers over the weekend, showing a picture of Mr Trump Jr together alongside a caption which read: 'Trump is here. Are you invited?' and 'Trump has arrived. Have you?'

Critics including author Patrick French have been strongly critical of the tone of the adverts.

'For the last however many days every newspaper in India has been wrapped in this abominable invitation to dinner with Trump Jr.,' he tweeted.

The Trump Organization has five projects in India, making it the brand's largest market outside the U.S.

President Trump's oldest son will be attending cocktail parties, dinners and meetings with local real estate developers during his week-long trip in support of the project.

Don Jr said in an interview he would not be interacting with government officials despite his commitment to speak at the Global Business Summit in Delhi on Friday, alongside Mr Modi.

He is travelling with a taxpayer-funded Secret Service detail.

Trump Towers Delhi is not in fact in New Delhi, but rather the city of Guragon. It is one of four projects that The Trump Organization is currently involved with in the country.

Mr Trump Jr was previously in India back in 2014 with his father as they launched the Trump Mumbai.

That project is expected to be completed next year, and Don Jr will stop in the city again during his trip.

He will also visit the cities of Kolkata, where a new project is set to break ground, and Pune, the only project that has been completed of the four.

The Trump Organization has not put up any of the money towards the building of these new projects, and instead are lending their name and business acumen for a cut of the sales.

That payout is increased for units that sell above the market rate.

The Trump Organization has five projects in India, making it the brand's largest market outside the U.S.

President Trump has shown a deep affection for India and Prime Minister Modi, who he famously hugged outside the White House back last June.

At the same time he has come down hard on the country's neighbor and greatest foe, Pakistan.

On New Year's Eve he tweeted: 'The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!'
