India, US Officials to meet soon to address concerns of both sides: Suresh Prabhu

Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu has said that senior officials of India and the US will soon meet to address concerns of both the sides.

He said, issues related to visa, continuation of certain concession for exports, duty on steel and aluminium, and prices of certain medical devices are likely to be discussed among other things.

Mr Prabhu, who was in Washington earlier this week, said he held discussions with US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to find out ways to enhance trade and investments between the two countries.

He said, the meeting was significantly important in the backdrop of the fact that the US was not even ready to talk on trade-related issues with its close trading partners like Canada. He said, the meeting of the officers might take place by the end of this month.
