WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. has sent a message to India through one of his top diplomats that the relationship between the two countries is important, saying America wants to move past the differences they recently had over the arrest of an Indian diplomat in New York.“The Secretary ( John Kerry) is sending with her (Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Nisha Desai Biswal) a message that this relationship is important,” State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki told reporters...
during a conference call. Biswal, the Indian-origin U.S. diplomat, is on her maiden trip to India in her current position during March 4-6. “We want to move past disagreements we’ve had because we have so many issues that are important for us to work closely on. So that is the purpose of her trip. But obviously, she has an expansive itinerary while she’s there,” Psaki said. During the trip, Biswal would be travelling to Bangalore and then to New Delhi. “She has a heavy schedule over the next couple of days,” she said.
