The Strategic and Commercial Dialogue was a diplomatic summit that had been held from 2010 to 2016 between India and the United States to discuss and work on common issues of concern to improve and strengthen India–United States relations.
The summit initially started as the U.S.–India Strategic Dialogue which was held from 2010 to 2014. The dialogue was announced on July 20, 2009, by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her visit to India. In 2015, President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed to elevate the U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue to the Strategic and Commercial Dialogue "reflecting the United States and India's shared priorities of generating economic growth, creating jobs, improving the investment climate, and strengthening the middle class in both countries."
The Strategic and Commercial Dialogue was replaced in 2018 with the 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue.
