'Indo-U.S. ties on right track'

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI MAY 3. India today took note of the interview given to The Hindu by the National Security Adviser to the United States President, Condoleezza Rice, and said that her views showed that the India-U.S. bilateral relationship was on the ``right track''.

The views expressed by Dr. Rice reflected the warmth in the ties between New Delhi and Washington, said sources in the Ministry of External Affairs.

Dr. Rice's prompting to India to give ``diplomacy the primacy'' in its ties with Pakistan was seen here as reflecting the stated position of the United States.

``We are very much aware of the American position,'' said the sources in an informal reaction to her position that at this stage when the entire world was engaged in the fight against terrorism, ``it would serve no one for India and Pakistan to come to military blows''.
