‘Constantly reminding, tracking the process of establishing US consulate in Bengaluru’: EAM S Jaishankar
EAM S Jaishankar said on Monday that he is tracking the process of establishing a US consulate in Bengaluru and constantly reminding them. S Jaishankar said that he would like to visit the consulate on behalf of Prime Minister Narendra Modi because he made this request to US in his June last year visit. "I tell them that whenever you do the consulate, I would like to come here on behalf of Prime Minister Modi because this was a request that Prime Minister Modi got done when he went on a state visit to America in June last year," EAM said in the Bengaluru press conference.
