New Delhi: The US mid-term elections were an internal matter of the country and are unlikely to impact ties between New Delhi and Washington, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Tuesday.
MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal emphasised that the India-US partnership enjoys strong bipartisan support in Washington and both sides remain committed to further expanding it.
“The mid-term elections are an internal matter of the US. I have no specific comment on them, beyond underlining that the India-US relationship enjoys strong bipartisan support,” Jaiswal said at a regular media briefing.
“We continue to work to further strengthen our Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership with the US,” he added, responding to a question.
The remarks were New Delhi’s first response following the outcome of the US mid-term polls that saw severe drubbing of the Republican party.
