This is the fifth round of in-person discussions. The US side is led by Brendan Lynch, assistant US trade representative for South and Central Asia.

There have been three face-to-face rounds in Washington, with the most recent held from 19 to 24 May.

In earlier rounds, the two sides exchanged priority lists and initial proposals. The upcoming discussions are seen as a crucial step towards resolving tariff-related issues.

India is seeking tariff concessions for key sectors such as textiles and pharmaceuticals, while the US is pushing for more access to the dairy, e-commerce, and digital trade market.
