New York, July 27 -- A senior White House adviser says that US President Donald Trump has "a good and enduring relationship" with Prime Minister Narendra Modi as India tries to move beyond Trump's recent remarks about Kashmir mediation.

Asked by a reporter on Thursday if Trump had made up the claim about Modi asking for his mediation on the Kashmir issue, his Counsellor Kellyanne Conway said, "We have a good and enduring relationship with Mr Modi and the Indian government."

And pressed about the Indian government's denial that mediation was requested, she said tersely, "You will have to ask them."

India has, meanwhile, officially decided "it was time move on" and instead concentrate on the larger picture of India-US ties.
