There's tremedous potential for growth of US-India trade: US

WASHINGTON: A top Bush administration official has said that there is "tremendous potential" for the growth of US-India trade and hoped that the two countries would work together for a strong Doha Round Agreement.

"In terms of US-India trade, we believe there is tremendous potential to grow US-India trade. The bilateral trade policy forum, that just recently met in Chicago, was a good meeting. And we look forward to containing to expand trade between the two countries," US Trade Representative Susan Schwab said while addressing the media at the White House.

She was addressing the media on the Colombia Free Trade Pact which the US President George W Bush has sent to Capitol Hill for passage. The senior official also expressed hope that the two countries would continue to work together to achieve a strong Doha round agreement in Geneva at the WTO.
