Rubio to India, Modi to US.
Alongside the trade talks, there's a lot going on in U.S.-India relations.
Top leaders have upcoming visits: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio heads to India in October, and Prime Minister Modi is expected to travel to the US for the G-20 summit in Florida in December.
Both countries are also working together on projects like the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, aiming to open up new trade routes despite some regional hurdles.
