Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri will visit Washington this week for meetings with senior US officials to review trade, defence and technology ties, and discuss the fallout of the West Asia conflict.
Misri's visit, from April 8 to 10, follows External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's visit to Washington in February and is part of regular high-level exchanges between the two sides.
The visit aims to review the full spectrum of India-US bilateral relations and advance ongoing cooperation across key areas, including trade, defence, science and technology, and regional and global developments.
Both countries are focused on stabilising relations that were hit by unprecedented strains last year after US President Donald Trump levied 50% tariffs on Indian exports.
The proposed trade deal, for which the two sides have concluded a framework, is expected to figure during Misri's meetings in Washington.
