US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik said that a trade deal between India and America could be in a “very distant future” because “we found a place that actually works for the two countries.”
“When they put the right person in India, they put the right person on the other side of the table, and we (he) have managed, I think,” Lutnik said in his main address in the eighth edition of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (Usispf) here on Monday.
He said, “You should expect a deal between the United States and India in a very distant future because I think we find a place that actually works for the two countries,” he said.
UsisPF also presented the 2025 Global leadership award to IBM President Arvind Krishna, Aditya Birla Group President Kumar Mangalam Birla and Hitachi Executive Chairman Tosiaki Higasihara for his outstanding contribution in strengthening US-India-Jawan economic participation.
This is the first time that business leaders of Quad Group of Australia, India, Japan and America will be honored at the UsisPF summit.
