CHICAGO: During a reception here hosted in his honor by Indian Consul General Dr Ausaf Sayeed, Indian Ambassador Dr Subrahmanyam Jaishankar laid emphasis on basics of Indo-US relationship observing that the fundamentals were sound and that minor irritants cropping up of late, though significant, could be overcome with mutual give and take. The Indian envoy said that the 'romance phase of courtship' has ended and hard work is ahead. Speaking in subzero temperatures outside and against the backdrop of cooling of ties between India and the United States, he said that
although "current sentiment seems less than positive," the two countries "can neither afford dilution of attention nor weakening of faith" in the relationship that is always fated to show resilience and unity of purpose. However, this did not prevent him from cautioning US lawmakers keen on tightening visa rules for hi-tech firms and professionals while overhauling immigration laws. The move is fraught with danger as it will have serious adverse repercussion on Indian economy and expansion of trade between these two great world democracies, he observed. Details on page 21
