U.S., India Eager To Move Forward With High-Level Dialogues



Washington: The United States and India are eager to move forward with high-level dialogues and exchanges soon, Secretary of State John Kerry said, as he extended Republic Day greeting to India.

Kerry, who met External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid in Swiss city Montreauex this week, sought to put the Devyani Khobragade issue behind and move ahead on the bilateral ties.

"When I spoke with External Affairs Minister Khurshid in Montreaux this past week, we agreed that both our peoples benefit when the world's largest and oldest democracies work closely together," Kerry said in a message.

"Khurshid and I affirmed that we are eager to move forward with our high-level dialogues and exchanges soon, and that our countries remain firmly committed to the indispensable U.S.-India partnership," he said.

Greeting India on the Republic Day on behalf of President Barack Obama, Kerry said the real magic of India lies as much in its promising future as it does in its rich heritage.
