According to information released by the Indian Embassy in the US, the meeting 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 delegation was led by Foreign Secretary Vinay 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.

Here are the key takeaways from the 1st IUSSTD meeting:
