Kashmir Observer
|FEBRUARY 17, 2026 ISSUE
A team of Indian officials will visit the US next week to finalise the legal text for an interim trade agreement, which is likely to be signed in March, Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said on Monday.
The visit is likely to start on February 23.
Earlier this month, India and the US released a joint statement to announce that a framework for an interim trade agreement has been finalised.
"The joint statement lays down the contours of the deal. Now, the contours of the deal have to be translated into a legal agreement, which will be signed between the two sides,” he told reporters here.
Both sides are engaged in finalising that legal agreement, and virtual talks are going on for that.
