As part of her trip, Raimondo will convey the importance that the Biden Administration places on the US-India relations and emphasise the significant opportunity to deepen commercial ties between the two countries, said a US government statement.
This trip comes on the heels of last month’s special negotiating round for the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework held in the national capital.
The US-India Commercial Dialogue and CEO Forum will be held on 10 March, to discuss cooperation in various sectors that could unlock new trade and investment opportunities between the two countries.
The US-India CEO Forum was soft-launched by Raimondo and Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal in November 2022.
Raimondo will return to Washington on Saturday.
