Top US State Department official Nicholas Burns will head to India this month to try to wrap up a landmark nuclear pact after talks here achieved "extensive progress," a US official said Tuesday.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said "the US is encouraged by the extensive progress that was made on the issues" by Burns, the US under secretary of state for political affairs, and Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon.
"We look forward to resolving the outstanding issues in the weeks ahead. In that regard, Under Secretary Burns will visit India in the second half of May to reach a final agreement," McCormack said in a statement.
