He will attend the 13th Trade Policy Forum ( TPF) meeting in Washington on January 11. Before delegation level

The 12th TPF Ministerial meeting was held on 23 November last year after a gap of four years in New Delhi. According to an official statement, working groups were reactivated after the last ministerial. The TPF is a platform chaired by India’s Commerce and Industry Minister and the USTR. It is aimed at facilitating continuous engagement between two countries in the area of trade and to further the trade and investment relations between the two countries. Both countries are looking forward to the meeting and confident of making progress on the trade issues, the statement said.

Regular exchanges at the leadership-level have been an integral element of the expanding bilateral engagement between the two democracies which have a long standing strategic and economic relationship and people to people contact. The two countries are also collaborating under the QUAD, I2U2 (India-Israel/ UAE-USA) and IPEF (Indo-Pacific Economic Framework).
