Washington: Ahead of the UPA-Left meeting to resolve differences over the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal, Washington has said it would make every effort to get the pact through Congress by January 20 next year when the new President assumes office.
"From now until January 20th, we'll continue to work to support this agreement. We'll continue to encourage the Indian government to approve it. And if in such time it is approved, we will make every effort to move it through Congress," the State Department Deputy Spokesman Tom Casey said.
"And we certainly hope that the next administration, whoever comes to office in January, would also see this agreement as something fundamentally in America's interest and want to move forward with it as well," the top official said.
