Vikram Misri, the Foreign Secretary of India, will travel to Washington, D.C., from April 8 to 10 for discussions aimed at reviewing the bilateral relationship between India and the United States. The visit comes amid delays in an interim trade agreement and the US's outreach to Pakistan. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) indicated that Misri will engage with senior US administration officials on a variety of issues, including trade, defense, science and technology, and regional matters of mutual interest. This visit follows the Indian external affairs minister's trip to Washington in February and is part of ongoing high-level engagements between the two nations. Key topics expected to be discussed include the West Asia conflict, navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, and the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan. India is also keen to address supply chain disruptions caused by the Iran conflict, which has impacted energy supplies to India and other regions. Additionally, the Quad framework will be reviewed, with India exploring the possibility of hosting a Quad foreign ministers' meeting later this year, although no final decision has been made.
