India will take up the issue of visa for Information Technology (IT) professionals as well as other contentious issues with the new Donald Trump administration in the United States.

India will continue to negotiate with the US government once it takes charge in early January, next year, Commerce and Industry minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Thursday. India will communicate its position on trade issues and brief the US government about Indian industry's contribution to the US economy, she added.

Trump during his election campaign expressed concerns about immigration and outsourcing of jobs.

India has time and again raised concerns over the American visa regime and hike in visa fees as it impacts Indian IT industry which earns about 60% of its revenue from that market.

India has also filed a case in the WTO against the US decision to impose high fees on temporary working visas.
