Jaishankar will also hold meetings with senior members of the US administration, according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). On Tuesday, Jaishankar said the India-US trade deal would spur growth in both economies and boost ‘Make in India’.

“This will create more jobs, spur growth and promote innovation in both economies. It will strengthen ‘Make in India’ endeavours and encourage trusted technology ties. The opportunities in our economic engagement are truly vast and we are confident of realising them. A robust economic relationship is the strongest foundation for our strategic partnership,” he said.
