India is aiming to "positively conclude" the first part of a trade agreement with the United States by this autumn, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced on Monday at the start of a high-level visit to the U.S.
Sitharaman’s five-day trip includes participation in the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, as well as the G20 meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors, according to an Indian government statement.
"The long and short of engaging with the U.S. is not just for this reciprocal tariff related matter, but in the interest of... our largest trading partner with whom we need to have an agreement," Sitharaman said in an address to the Indian diaspora in San Francisco.
She is also scheduled to meet the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and is expected to speak to officials at the United States Trade Representative's office.
