Foreign secretary Vikram Misri will travel to Washington DC from April 8 to 10 for high-level talks aimed at reviewing the “full spectrum” of India-US ties, with a focus on trade, defence and the worsening situation in West Asia. ADVERTISEMENTIt is learnt that discussions during the visit may also cover ways to move forward on a proposed bilateral trade agreement. "The visit will provide an opportunity to review the full spectrum of India-US bilateral relations and advance ongoing cooperation across key areas," the MEA said in a statement. According to the ministry, Misri will meet senior US administration officials to discuss a wide range of issues, including trade, defence, science and technology, as well as regional and global developments of mutual interest.
