US ready to do business with a mino. govt (1)   22-Jul-08 11:02Tracked by (0)

Ahead of the crucial trust vote that will decide the fate of the UPA government, the US said it will move forward on the nuclear deal with any dispensation in New Delhi — even if it is in minority.
Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Richard Boucher said Bush administration will have no problem in dealing with a minority government as "minority governments are common around the world."


"I don't have them off the top of my head, but I mean, minority governments are common around the world," he said.


"You can't say, 'Oh, well, we are going to stop dealing with you till the next election or until some new coalition or something. That's not for us to say," Boucher said commenting on the future of the nuclear deal if the UPA government fails to win the confidence vote in the Lok Sabha.


He said the US will continue to work with any legitimate government in India New Delhi to push forward the deal.


"If they have a legitimate government -- people who are empowered to run the government -- that's who we'll deal with,"


"In terms of the United States and India, we deal with the legally constituted government of India -- whoever is running that government at the time, that's who we sign agreements with. So, that's not a problem for us," he said.


He said the Bush administration was ready to "go as far as" possible to see conclusion of the deal. "We are going to work with the Indians, we are going to work with the Congress and we are going to take this as far as we can go," Boucher said.


"We are very excited by the prospect, we'll see what happens in the confidence vote, but however far the Indians could go, we are going to try to take it that far or further. So, that's what we are going to do," he said. bs-
