India expects a US trade delegation to visit the country for the next round of talks, though dates remain unconfirmed.

Discussions also involve addressing the US Trade Representative's Section 301 investigations into alleged unfair trade practices and forced labor concerns. Both sides aim to sustain momentum toward a reciprocal, mutually beneficial trade framework.
