Delhi hopes US will lift visa curbs: MEA


New Delhi, June 25

India on Thursday hoped the US would reverse its restrictions on visas affecting the movement of its skilled professionals.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has, however, reserved a detailed response till it finishes consulting Indian nationals and the industry about the proclamation issued by US President Donald President Trump on June 22 temporarily suspending entry of certain categories of non-immigrant visa-holders and their family members till December 31.

MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said people-to-people linkages are an important dimension of the US-India partnership along with trade and economic cooperation, especially in technology and innovation sectors.

“The US has always welcomed talent and we hope our professionals will continue to be welcomed in the country,” Srivastava said. — TNS
