NEW DELHI: Foreign secretary Vikram Misri will be visiting the United States from May 27-29 to meet with senior officials of the Trump administration .
The visit is a follow up to Prime Minister’s visit to the United States in February 2025, when both sides had launched the India-US COMPACT (Catalysing Opportunities for Military Partnership, Accelerated Commerce & Technology) for the 21st Century, the ministry of external affairs said.
The India-US COMPACT is a strategic initiative launched in February 2025 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump. This comprehensive framework aims to deepen bilateral cooperation across defense, trade, and advanced technologies, marking a significant advancement in the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership.
At the heart of the COMPACT is a 10-year roadmap to elevate the US-India Major Defense Partnership , enabling co-production and joint development of critical military platforms such as Javelin missiles, Stryker combat vehicles, and P-8I surveillance aircraft. A new Autonomous Systems Industry Alliance has also been established to advance collaboration in frontier defense technologies, including artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and maritime security solutions.
Economically, the initiative targets a doubling of bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030 through a comprehensive agreement that emphasises fair trade practices, mutual growth, and national security safeguards. This push is supported by “Mission-500,” a dedicated drive to unlock trade potential in strategic sectors.
On the innovation front, the COMPACT launches the TRUST Initiative, fostering joint progress in advanced technologies like semiconductors, quantum computing, clean energy, biotechnology, and space exploration. It also introduces the INDUS Innovation platform to enhance academic and industrial cooperation in future technologies.
Beyond commerce and security, the pact strengthens collaboration in energy, particularly nuclear power, clean hydrogen, and LNG, to support climate goals and ensure long-term energy security. Additionally, it reinforces shared strategic priorities in the Indo-Pacific region and boosts connectivity initiatives such as the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor.
Overall, the COMPACT represents a bold vision for a more integrated and resilient India-US partnership, built on trust, technological leadership, and shared geopolitical interests.
