US Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia Christina Rocca would visit India next week to carry forward the ongoing high-level dialogue on deepening co-operation in nuclear and strategic areas, officials said Monday.
The landmark talks are being held less than a month after Washington lifted sanctions it had imposed on Indian facilities after New Delhi conducted nuclear tests in 1998, officials said.
Visiting US Under Secretary of State for Commerce Kenneth Juster Monday met Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran and National Security Adviser J.N. Dixit.
Juster would also meet India's Commerce Secretary S.N. Menon during his two-day visit.
The aim of the talks is to find ways to improve ties in the high-tech trade, defence and civilian nuclear sectors and in space programmes.
