Apart from reviewing the tracks, the engagement is likely to cover the discussion between Indian and US CEOs, the Ministry said. From India, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, Nirmala Sitharaman will represent. The US delegation will be led by Secretary of State, John Kerry and Secretary of Commerce, Penny Pritzker. 

Along with them, two co-chairs of CEOs Forum, Cyrus Mistry, Chairman of Tata Group from Indian side and Dave Cote, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell International from US side will also be present at S&CD plenary, the Ministry said. 

The first S&CD was held in September 2015 at Washington DC and identified the focused areas of cooperation under the two tracks – Strategic and Commercial. This S&CD will be reviewing the progress made so far under the two tracks, the Minister said.
