INDIAN NEUTRALITY RE-AFFIRMED BY PANDIT NEHRU
Ottawa, October 24.
Mr. Pandit Nehru, the Indian Prime Minister, said at a press conference today that it was not the policy of India to align herself with any bloc of nations.
He said, "It is our aim to keep friendly contacts with everybody. Naturally, we are bound to be closer to some nations than to others--für example, we consult with the other nations of the Commonwealth, but our foreign policy is completely independent."
