NEW DELHI:

"I am pleased to confirm that USTR and India's ministry of commerce and industry have finalised the terms of reference to lay down a roadmap for the negotiations on reciprocal trade," Greer said in a statement.

His remarks came a day before Indian negotiating teams, led by chief negotiator and commerce secretary-designate Rajesh Agrawal, were due to arrive in America to advance the discussions. Approximately 20 terms of reference (ToRs) have been established for a "mutually beneficial" bilateral trade agreement (BTA), covering issues related to tariff and non-tariff barriers in goods and services.
