An Indian delegation is expected to visit Washington later this month to advance talks on an interim bilateral trade agreement, with New Delhi seeking preferential market access for Indian merchandise over competing countries.
The visit is expected to give renewed momentum to trade talks and help resolve issues including the Section 301 investigations launched by the USTR on March 11.
India's foreign secretary Vikram Misri is already on a three-day visit to Washington from April 8, adding senior diplomatic heft to the engagement.
The finalisation of an interim bilateral trade agreement would automatically resolve several trade disputes between the two countries.
