The United States and India could soon reschedule a visit by the U.S. energy secretary that was cancelled because of a diplomatic row, New Delhi said after foreign minister Salman Khurshid met his counterpart U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday.
“Both sides looked forward to the early realization of the mutually-agreed calendar of bilateral exchanges,” India’s foreign ministry said in a statement after the two men met in Montreux, Switzerland, on the sidelines of a Syrian peace conference.
The statement mentioned a visit by Ernest Moniz, the U.S. energy secretary, who postponed his trip to India earlier this month because of a dispute over the arrest and strip search of an Indian diplomat in New York on charges of visa fraud and lying about how much she paid her housekeeper.
The meeting between Kerry and Khurshid was the highest level exchange since the spat.
