We will move forward if India is ready: U.S.

Washington: The United States will move forward on the civilian nuclear deal whenever India is ready, as it understands that New Delhi needs to work through the political process, according to State Department Deputy Spokesman Tom Casey.

“In terms of the decisions within the Indian political system, we [the U.S.] respect the needs and the rights of their political leaders to work this through themselves. But we are ready and able to move forward whenever they (India) would like us to,” Mr. Casey said.

He, however, said that regardless of the outcome or the timing of the agreement, Washington would continue to expand its relations with New Delhi, which was “an increasingly important player on the world stage.” — PTI
