The talks were led by Joint Secretary (D&ISA) Muanpuii Saiawi and US Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration Thea D Rozman Kendlar. 
 
The Dialogue is a key mechanism to take forward the strategic technology and trade collaborations envisaged under the India-US initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (iCET).
 
The inaugural meeting of India-US Strategic Trade Dialogue (IUSSTD) was held in Washington DC on June 6, 2023. The Indian delegation was led by Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra. The US delegation was co-led by Under Secretary for Industry and Security in the US Department of Commerce Alan Estevez and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs in the US Department of State Victoria Nuland.
 
IUSSTD focused on ways in which both governments can facilitate the development and trade of technologies in critical domains such as semiconductors, space, telecom, quantum, AI, defence, bio-tech and others, the Indian Embassy in Washington DC said.
 
Both sides reviewed the relevant bilateral export control regulations with the objective of building and diversifying resilient supply chains for these strategic technologies. They reviewed ongoing cooperation in multilateral export control regimes and agreed to share best practices.
