India and the US have decided to create a working group on ‘resilient trade’ under the Trade Policy Forum (TPF), where both nations will initially focus on new-age trade issues, such as environment protection, promotion of labour rights, and sustainable lifestyle.

Moreover, there will be a discussion on issues such as digitisation of Customs procedures and strengthening the resilience of global supply chains in critical sectors, which will help both nations withstand current and future global challenges, according to a joint statement on the 13th TPF co-chaired by Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and US Trade Representative Katherine Tai
