"We are not differentiating between an interim or the first phase of the bilateral trade agreement. We are negotiating a complete deal. Whatever will be finished, we can package it as an interim deal and for the rest, talks will continue,” the official said.

The dates for the US visit have not been finalised yet. However, according to sources, the team is expected to visit Washington next week.

"We are engaged both physically and virtually with the US on the pact,” the official, who did not wish to be named, said.

On the timeline of the proposed interim deal, the official said: "One does not know".
