The message was communicated to visiting US secretary of state Rex Tillerson during bilateral discussions, external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj said. "We told the US side that trade with DPRK (the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has come down; it's minimal. I told secretary Tillerson it is important that the embassies of some of your friendly countries should remain there so that there are some channels of communication available when needed. Sushma indicated that India was working at two levels to protect the interests of Indians working in the US on the two visas. And, we are also reaching out to the Congress to strive against the passage of the bills to change the existing provisions."
