The delegation also engaged with top US government officials and business leaders in a series of strategic meetings aimed at promoting trade, investment, and industrial cooperation. According to officials, the meetings with US government representatives were “constructive,” with both sides exchanging views on the structure and scope of a future trade deal.

Apart from government-level talks, the delegation also met with prominent US-based businesses and investors, who responded positively to India’s investment climate and growth trajectory. The business leaders expressed strong confidence in India’s growth story and showed keen interest in expanding their footprint in the Indian market.

“The meetings with businesses and investors evoked positive response. The business leaders reposed confidence in the India growth story and expressed their desire to intensify their business activities in India,” the Ministry further said in the statement.
