Washington DC (USA), Jan 12 (ANI): India requested the United States to speed up the issuance of business visas, said Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal after the conclusion of the 13th India-US Trade Policy Forum (TPF) with his US counterpart United States Trade Representative Ambassador Katherine Tai in Washington. “India has made the request to the US that they may speed up the issuance of regular business visas where people come in for short trips to pursue their trade and business interest,” the Union Minister said. “And that has helped increase our bilateral relations. We are grateful that the US was able to process the student visas on an expedited basis so that in the post COVID scenario our students would come to the US to pursue their studies in the fall of 2022 semester,” he added.
