Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri launches India-US trade Facilitation Portal
Misri, who is on a three-day visit to the US, launched the portal at a virtual event attended by India’s Ambassador to the US Vinay Mohan Kwatra, along with officials and trade representatives from the two countries.
“It will act as a bridge that ensures continuity and strengthens existing supply chains, while also enabling new trade links to emerge and grow,” Misri said. he said.
Misri began his three-day visit to the United States on Wednesday to meet with senior officials to review bilateral trade and defense relations and discuss global developments, including the crisis in the Middle East.
Misri’s visit comes at a time when both the US and India are working to stabilize relations after a period of uncertainty and tension. Relations witnessed a major setback after Washington imposed punitive tariffs on New Delhi and President Donald Trump made controversial claims about its role in de-escalating the India-Pakistan military conflict last May.
In February, the United States and India reached an Interim Agreement (Interim Agreement) framework on mutual and mutually beneficial trade.
