US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker will arrive in New Delhi next week to attend the second US-India Strategic and Commercial Dialogue (S&CD).

During her India visit, from August 29 to 31, she will also attend the US-India CEO Forum, a statement of the US Department of Commerce said.

"Secretary Pritzker will co-chair the S&CD with US Secretary of State John Kerry, India's Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj and Minister of Commerce and Industry Nirmala Sitharaman," it said.
