New Delhi: India today said it was in “diplomatic dialogue” with Nigeria after that country raised the killing of one of its nationals in Goa last week and noted that it was expecting a report from the state government in the matter by tomorrow.
“We are in diplomatic dialogue with them (Nigerian High Commission) since yesterday when the matter was brought to us,” the Spokesperson in the External Affairs Ministry said.
The ministry has explained the circumstances and the situation to the High Commission which was “concerned and anguished” over the incident and has asked for a thorough probe into the killing, he said.
Asked if the incident will have any “repercussion” for Indians in Nigeria as was being indicated by a Nigerian diplomat earlier this week, the Spokesperson said, “In our diplomatic dialogue we did not heard the words mentioned.”
