美大使将晤印度反对党领袖莫迪
The United States says its ambassador to India will meet opposition leader Narendra Modi, who could become New Delhi\'s next prime minister.
The planned meeting, confirmed by the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, represents a change of posture toward the Hindu nationalist.
Washington imposed a visa ban on Modi following criticism of his handling of anti-Muslim riots in 2002 in Gujarat state, where he is chief minister. The violence left more than 1,000 people dead.
A U.S. embassy spokesman said Modi\'s meeting with Ambassador Nancy Powell is part of a "concentrated outreach to senior political and business leaders" to highlight the U.S.-India relationship.
Modi could become prime minister if his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) performs well in the upcoming parliamentary elections, as recent polls suggest.
美国说,美国驻印度大使将会晤反对党领袖纳伦德拉.莫迪,他可能成为新德里的下一任总理。计划中的会议已经由美国驻新德里大使馆证实。这意味着对这位印度教民族主义者的态度有所变化。
华盛顿一度对莫迪实行了签证禁令,那是在美国批评他2002年处理古吉拉特邦反穆斯林骚乱的方式之后。当时莫迪在那里担任首席部长。那次暴力事件造成超过1000人死亡。
美国大使馆一位发言人说,莫迪与美国大使南希.鲍威尔的会晤是“跟政界和商界资深领袖密集接触”的一部分,以突显美印关系。
最近的民意调查显示,如果莫迪的印度人民党( BJP)在即将举行的议会选举中表现良好,他可能成为总理。
