"Trade Deal With US New Economic Pillar": India's Washington Envoy To NDTV | Read

Calling the proposed India-US trade agreement a "new economic pillar" in the bilateral relationship, India's Ambassador to the United States and former Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra has said the framework announced recently reflects a carefully negotiated, balanced and mutually beneficial outcome that protects India's core interests while opening up vast economic opportunities.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with NDTV's Senior Executive Editor Aditya Raj Kaul, Kwatra underlined that the agreement, announced through a joint statement following a telephonic conversation between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump, should not be viewed narrowly as a trade arrangement.
