US hopeful of resolving Devyani Khobragade issue

January 07, 2014 10:58

The US has expressed hope of arriving at a resolution of the Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade issue, which has resulted in "hiccups" in the India-US bilateral ties.

"Absolutely" the State Department Deputy Spokesperson, Marie Harf, told reporters at her daily news conference yesterday, when asked if the US was hopeful that the issue would be resolved.

This comes in the wake of strong Indian statement to the US that it cannot be "business as usual" between the two sides till the issue is resolved.

Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh conveyed this to US Ambassador Nancy Powell when she met her at South Block in New Delhi yesterday.
