The upcoming round follows meetings held in Chile from October 27-30, where both sides advanced work on a pact that, while largely conventional, includes an unusual chapter on critical minerals. New Delhi is pushing for similar provisions in multiple trade agreements as it seeks to secure long-term supplies of key inputs for clean-tech and advanced manufacturing.
