Social security pact with US to take time: Goyal

Goyal, who was on a five-day visit to the US till October 4, said that while India has been advocating a totalisation agreement, the issue should have been resolved decades ago.

"...when the numbers were small, and the impact was manageable. Over time, this issue was neglected by several Indian governments.

However, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government came to power in 2014, India held discussions with the US on the matter.
