India, US discuss customs and trade facilitation as both sides push for early bilateral deal

What's behind this

US trade officials visited New Delhi on November 2‑3 for bilateral talks with India’s Commerce Ministry, focusing on the customs and trade‑facilitation chapter of a proposed India‑US pact. Both sides expressed optimism about a mutually beneficial early bilateral deal and ruled out any interruption in the negotiations.
