High-Level Meetings Strengthen Ties

Earlier this week, India and the US held a high-level official meeting in New Delhi to reinforce trade cooperation. A team from the US, led by Brendan Lynch, Chief Negotiator for the India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement, held detailed discussions with Indian officials led by Special Secretary (Commerce) Rajesh Agrawal.

The Commerce Ministry stated, “Acknowledging the enduring importance of bilateral trade between India and the US, the discussions were positive and forward-looking, covering various aspects of the trade deal.

The Ministry highlighted that trade discussions are ongoing at several levels, with both India and the US approaching trade issues with a constructive and positive mindset.

Expectations of a trade deal have been strengthened by encouraging statements from US President Donald Trump. PM Narendra Modi has also signalled strong political support for reaching an agreement.
