Government’s decision to keep FDI in retail on hold will not impact Indo-US relationship, a senior US envoy said on Wednesday.
“This is in an internal issue and an issue of the Indian society. The Indo-US relationship is vibrant, strategic and long term. No single decision will impact the relationship,” the newly appointed US Consul-General in Kolkata, Mr Dean Thompson, told members of the Bengal National Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
US-based retail major Walmart was among other retail chains who are eyeing the Indian USD 400 billion retail market.
Thomson said next year a few US delegations would be coming to India to forge greater trade ties.
