The US team is visiting India from June 1-4 to finalise the details of the interim trade pact and take forward negotiations under the broader bilateral trade agreement on various areas such as market access, non-tariff measures, and customs facilitation, a government official said on Wednesday. India and the US issued a joint statement on February 7, agreeing on a framework for an interim trade agreement on reciprocal and mutually beneficial trade. The framework reaffirmed the countries’ commitment to the broader India-US bilateral trade agreement (BTA) negotiations. Following that, the Indian side visited Washington DC on April 20-23, for an in-person round of meetings with their US counterparts.
