WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — US Secretary of State John Kerry is visiting Bangladesh and India next week for talks in New Delhi to expand bilateral strategic and commercial ties, US Department of State spokesperson Elizabeth Trudeau announced on Wednesday.

"Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Dhaka, Bangladesh, on August 29 to highlight the longstanding and broad US-Bangladesh relationship," Trudeau said in a statement she later repeated at the daily press briefing. "On August 29-31, Secretary Kerry will travel to New Delhi, India, for meetings with senior Indian officials."

On August 30, Kerry and US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker will co-chair the second US-India Strategic and Commercial Dialogue in New Delhi, the statement added.

"Secretaries Kerry and Pritzker will be joined by their respective Indian co-chairs, Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj and Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Nirmala Sitharaman, along with members of the US delegation and their Indian counterparts," Trudeau stated.

The Dialogue is the signature mechanism for advancing the United States’ and India’s shared priorities of generating sustainable economic growth, creating jobs, improving the business and investment climate and sustaining the rules-based global order, Trudeau concluded.
