India-US deal momentum builds: US team holds talks in Delhi on BTA; Goyal says interim pact may be reach soon
The United States and India are intensifying negotiations on a bilateral trade agreement, with officials from both sides meeting in New Delhi this week to finalise the first phase of the proposed deal. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Commerce and Industry Minister on Thursday said the ongoing discussions are progressing well, and that additional US officials are expected to join the talks on June 6. 'Talks are progressing well. The US team is in India for the talks,' Goyal told reporters in Brescia, Italy, where he is on an official visit to promote trade and investment ties with Italian leadership and industry. According to PTI, the US and India are targeting an interim trade agreement by the end of June. The broader goal, announced jointly by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump in February, is to finalise a multi-sector Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) by September–October 2025. The deal aims to more than double bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030 from the current level of $191 billion. India is also pushing for full exemption from the 26% reciprocal tariff currently imposed on domestic goods as part of the ongoing talks. Last month, India's chief negotiator, Special Secretary Rajesh Agrawal from the Department of Commerce, held a four-day round of discussions in Washington with his US counterpart. Goyal also travelled to the US capital to provide political impetus to the talks. The US has remained India's largest trading partner for the fourth consecutive year in FY 2024–25, with total trade valued at $131.84 billion. The US accounts for about 18% of India's total goods exports, 6.22% of imports, and 10.73% of overall merchandise trade.

Shashi Tharoor-Led All-Party Delegation Meets US Vice President JD Vance
Washington: The All-Party Parliamentary Delegation led by Shashi Tharoor on Thursday had an "excellent meeting" with the United States Vice President J.D. Vance in Washington, briefing him about Operation Sindoor, terrorism faced by India and regional security. "The All Party Parliamentary Delegation led by Dr. Shashi Tharoor called on Vice President J D Vance this morning. The conversation focused on strengthening the India-US partnership including cooperation in counter-terrorism domain," the Embassy of India in the United States posted on X. The All Party Parliamentary Delegation led by Dr. @ShashiTharoor called on Vice President JD Vance @VP this morning. The conversation focused on strengthening the India - US partnership including cooperation in counter-terrorism domain. — India in USA (@IndianEmbassyUS) June 5, 2025 "Excellent meeting with Vice President J D Vance today in Washington D.C. with our delegation. We had comprehensive discussions covering a wide array of critical issues, from counter-terrorism efforts to enhancing technological cooperation. A truly constructive and productive exchange for strengthening India-US strategic partnership, with a great meeting of minds," Tharoor also posted on X after the meeting. Mr Vance was visiting India when the heinous Pahalgam terror attack took place on April 22. In a strong message of support and solidarity, the US Vice-President had also called Prime Minister Narendra Modi to strongly condemn the terror attack and convey that the United States is ready to provide "all assistance" in the joint fight against terrorism. "Usha and I extend our condolences to the victims of the devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India. Over the past few days, we have been overcome with the beauty of this country and its people. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they mourn this horrific attack," he had posted on X. Earlier in the day, Mr Tharoor spoke with Ambassador Ken Juster at Council on Foreign Relations on India's fight against terrorism. On Wednesday, the all party delegation met prominent members of the Indian diaspora in USA. The delegation spoke about India's resolute and united stand against terrorism and the new normal created by India through Operation Sindoor. The Indian diaspora members shared their message of solidarity with the victims of terrorism and support for India's fight against terrorism. "Pleasure to host Chairman Shashi Tharoor and members of the Indian Parliamentary Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs. My colleagues and I expressed condolences for the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and reaffirmed Congress's commitment to the US-India partnership," said Gregory Meeks. Later, the delegation interacted with members of the Indian and American Press Corps at the Embassy. The delegation is engaging with members of the US Congress, US thinks tanks and media professionals to brief about Operation Sindoor, terrorism faced by India and regional security. Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, delegation head and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said, "What we are seeking to do in every country is to explain our version of events, our experience of the last few weeks, to seek the solidarity and understanding of those we meet and speak to." "I'm very pleased to say that so far, our batting average is over 100 -- in other words, every single person we have met so far has immediately not only condemned resolutely the terrorist attack upon India and expressed their outrage and their sympathy, but they have also explicitly endorsed India's right to defend itself against terrorism, and this kind of understanding has been most welcome." Tharoor described the Pahalgam terror attack as an egregious disruption during a time of economic and social optimism in Kashmir. "Kashmir was booming. Ordinary Kashmiris are benefiting from vast numbers of tourists coming in, putting money into their hands and their pockets. It was a lovely time. And here's this innocent group of holiday tourists on a dappled meadow in Kashmir being murdered in cold blood by people coming and asking their religion and shooting them between the eyes," he said. "It really was a sickening outrage, and the nation rose as one to support whatever the government chose to do, and what the government chose to do in the end was what most of us would have wanted," he added. He also explained India's calibrated military response and eventual ceasefire. "If you were to go back and look at the briefings the government gave each morning, the message is very clear: we are hitting them because they are hitting us. If they stop, we'll stop. And after 88 hours, the Pakistani Director General of Military Operations reached out to his Indian counterpart and said, let's call it off. And we called it off," Tharoor said. The delegation includes a diverse political mix, with members such as Shambhavi Choudhary of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Sarfaraz Ahmad of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Milind Murli Deora of the Shiv Sena, Bhubaneswar Kalita and Tejasvi Surya of the BJP, and GM Harish Balayogi of the Telugu Desam Party, a National Democratic Alliance partner.

As Lavrov plans India visit, Putin aide ruffles feathers by repeating Trump claim on mediation
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is expected to visit Delhi this month, even as a controversy brewed over Russia repeating U.S. President Donald Trump's claim, that India has denied, that Washington mediated the India-Pakistan ceasefire last month. This is the first visit to India by a Foreign Minister from one of the UN Security Council's permanent member nations since Operation Sindoor. Diplomatic sources suggested that Mr. Lavrov could travel as early as next week, to discuss strategic and economic ties with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. Significantly, Mr. Lavrov will be arriving in India after a meeting with Pakistan's Special Advisor to the Prime Minister Syed Tariq Fatemi in Moscow on Tuesday, and before a possible meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin in July if both leaders travel to the upcoming BRICS summit in Brazil. Also Read | India to get remaining S-400 missile systems by 2026, says Russia India denies mediation claim On Thursday, however, a comment by Mr. Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov raised eyebrows. While speaking about Mr. Trump's conversation with Mr. Putin on Ukraine, he mentioned that other issues were also discussed, including the Middle East, 'as well as the armed conflict between India and Pakistan, which has been halted with the personal involvement of President Trump.' When asked, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that it had 'clarified [India's] position fair and square' about the four-day conflict after India launched strikes on Pakistan's terror infrastructure in Operation Sindoor on May 7. 'The cessation of hostilities (May 10) happened bilaterally and was done by the two DGMOs [Directors General of Military Operations],' the MEA spokesperson said on Thursday. Despite the consistent denials, Mr. Trump and U.S. government officials have said more than a dozen times, including in a sworn submission in a U.S. court, that the U.S. had 'mediated' between the two sides, using trade as 'leverage' to ensure an end to hostilities. It is unclear whether Mr. Ushakov simply repeated Mr. Trump's claims during the conversation with Mr. Putin ad verbatim, or whether Russia had any other source of information on the subject, but officials are expected to clarify India's position again during Mr. Lavrov's visit. Also Read | Russia reiterates commitment to uncompromising fight with India against terrorism 'Game changer in economic ties' Apart from discussing the details of Operation Sindoor, where the success of Indian military hardware — including those supplied by Russia, such as the S-400 air defence systems — was seen, Mr. Lavrov is expected to call for speeding up Free Trade Agreement (FTA) talks between India and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the sources said. The EAEU, which includes Russia and the former Soviet states of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, is a common market and customs union that has been in talks with India since 2015. In January 2025, the government said that 'India is finalising the terms of reference' for the FTA. Talks have been bolstered by the seven-fold rise in India-Russia bilateral trade from 2021 to nearly US $70 billion in 2024, primarily due to Indian purchases of Russian oil, despite western sanctions. Russian Deputy Chief of Mission Roman Babushkin told journalists that the EAEU-India FTA is the 'need of the hour', a 'turning point', and a 'game changer' in economic ties. 'The acceleration of the FTA talks was one of the most important topics on the agenda when PM Modi and President Putin met in Moscow in 2024,' Mr. Babushkin said, adding that India and Russia had since made progress on issues like payment mechanisms, insurance, and banking facilities.
