"Qualified Indians" welcome, but... |
As the Trump administration continues to tighten screws on the H-1B visa programme, United States consul general in Mumbai, Edgard Kagan, says his country encourages and welcomes "qualified Indians". US President Donald Trump is "very committed" to relations with India. The US continues to be as welcoming as it has always been to qualified Indian travellers, Mr Kagan said, adding a record number of Indians flying to the US last year proves that Indians are aware that his country welcomes them. We strongly encourage and welcome Indians to study in the US. We believe that Indians studying in the US and our students studying in India are part of the glue that holds our relationship together, he said. Indians who are in the US continue to have great opportunities there. The country is aware that Indians there want to be treated well, he said. The US President is "very committed" to relations with India. If you look carefully you can see that from the very beginning of his administration, his time in office, the president and his team have emphasised the need to expand and strengthen the already good relations with India. We welcome and are thrilled with the amount of Indian investments that are coming to the US, he added. Mr Kagan said the US wants to get the right policy framework favouring investments in both the countries and make sure that ties between the people of the two countries remains strong.
