US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo is on a four-day visit to India to strengthen bilateral trade and business between US-India. During the visit, the secretary will meet Indian public and private sector leaders and participate in the US-India Commercial Dialogue and CEO Forum.
According to the US government, the US-India Commercial Dialogue and CEO Forum will be held on March 10, 2023, to discuss cooperation in various sectors that could unlock new trade and investment opportunities between the two countries.
Raimondo will convey the importance that the Biden Administration places on US-India relations and emphasize opportunities to deepen commercial ties between the two countries.
Excited to visit India, Raimondo said, “Through the CEO Forum, the Commercial Dialogue, and IPEF, we are making excellent progress in bringing our countries closer together by creating new markets for trade, expanding those that already exist, and reinforcing our shared commitment to democracy.”
When the forum was launched in November 2022, Raimondo and India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal identified key priorities as increasing supply chain resilience; enhancing energy security & reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions; advancing inclusive digital trade; and facilitating post-pandemic economic recovery, especially for small businesses.
