India, US hold 1st meet of Strategic Trade Dialogue ahead of PM's visit

Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra led the Indian delegation while State department's undersecretary for political affairs Victoria Nuland and Commerce Department's undersecretary for industry and security Alan Estevez led the US side during the talks. The new dialogue mechanism was launched during commerce secretary Gina Raimondo's visit to New Delhi in March and represents a key institutional innovation to unlock the potential of high-tech trade between the two countries envisaged as a part of the initiative on critical and emerging technologies (ICET).

In a statement after the talks, the Indian side said that the dialogue "focused on ways in which both governments can facilitate the development and trade of technologies in critical domains such as semiconductors, space, telecom, quantum, AI, defence, biotech and others".
