'US committed to complete N-deal with India'

Kolkata, Apr 02: The United States is committed to completing the Nuclear Deal with India, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Evan A Feigenbaum said here today.

Talking to mediapersons after inaugurating a new American Citizens Services(ACS) section at the US Consulate here, Mr Feigenbaum said, ''We are absolutely committed to trying and reaching a favourable solution to this deal.'' He claimed that it was a beneficial deal for India, the US and energy security as a whole. He said exploring new avenues of harnessing nuclear energy was absolutely essential to address the power crisis being faced by the world and ensure energy security for the future generations.

''We are closely following the procedure being adopted by the Indian government. The deal is very much in India's interest, from our perspective,'' Mr Feigenbaum asserted.
