Washington: The United States remained non-committal on India's demand for a permanent seat in the UN Security Council.
White House Spokesman Tony Snow evaded a question on a seat for India in the UNSC saying he is "not aware" of any official position on the issue.
At his regular briefing on Thursday, Snow was asked to comment on the stand of President George W Bush on a demand by India that as the world's largest democracy it deserves to have a seat at the Security Council as a permanent member.
"I'm not aware that we have an official position. That is not meant to be a snub. That is meant to be a flat statement that the Press Secretary is not aware," he said in a brief response.
