WASHINGTON: Supporting the ongoing discourse in India over the issue of FDI in the retail sector, the United States has said even though it is of view that this is in the benefit of India, it would desist to comment on India's internal affairs.
"I think they have to work through their domestic political process and I don't want to comment on their internal affairs at this point," the Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Robert D Hormats told reporters at a news conference.
Responding to questions about the decision of the Union Cabinet to put on hold its decision with regard to FDI in the multi-brand retail sector till the time a consensus is developed among all its stake holders, Hormats said that the United States has been discussing the issues with India for some time.
