印度外交部针对美国副总统JD·万斯近期有关H-1B签证持有者及外籍技术专家的言论作出回应，指出使用带有殖民历史伤痛含义的词汇实属冒犯且毫无必要。
The Ministry of External Affairs has responded to recent comments by US Vice President JD Vance regarding H-1B visa holders and foreign tech professionals, describing the use of terminology carrying painful colonial connotations as deeply offensive and unwarranted.
外交部强调，历代移民群体，尤其是具备专业技能的印度人才，为美国的经济发展、企业建设及技术创新作出了卓越贡献。
The ministry emphasized that generations of immigrants, particularly skilled Indian professionals, have contributed significantly to the economic growth, enterprise, and innovation of the United States.
针对美国劳工部暂停部分企业永久劳工认证程序一事，发言人澄清称该措施与H-1B签证体系并无直接关联。
Addressing the US Department of Labor's suspension of the Permanent Labor Certification program for certain companies, the official spokesperson clarified that PERM is distinct from the H-1B visa framework.
目前现有H-1B签证持有者的身份状态不受影响，但绿卡申请流程可能面临一定影响；同时双方均认可人才跨境流动对两国发展的重要价值。
While existing H-1B visa statuses remain unaffected, potential impacts on green card processing were noted, alongside the mutual value of bilateral talent mobility.
