Inside 2-Day Trade Talks: India Wants Competitive Edge, Here's What US Seeks
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has indicated that India and the United States are making steady progress towards a bilateral trade agreement after two days of high-level negotiations in New Delhi, even as both sides race against a crucial July deadline.
Speaking after the discussions with a visiting US delegation led by US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Goyal described the talks as "constructive" and said negotiations were moving forward in the right direction. While he stopped short of announcing a breakthrough, the minister reiterated that India would only sign a deal that protects national interests and benefits both economies.
