India welcomes statement

New Delhi July 19. India today welcomed the U.S. statement that India and Pakistan should resolve their bilateral differences under the Shimla Agreement, saying it amounted to ``complete vindication'' of New Delhi's stand.

India had all along been saying that the two countries must adopt the bilateral course to resolve their problems. ``The statement from Washington vindicates our stand,'' an External Affairs Ministry spokesperson told reporters here.

She was asked to comment on the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia, Christina Rocca's testimony before the U.S. House International Relations Sub-committee on West Asia and South Asia.
