New Delhi: Government is talking to certain countries on the issue of extending dual citizenship to NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) and People of Indian Origin (PIOs), Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee told the Rajya Sabha on March 4.

"On the issue of dual citizenship, we are talking to other countries," he said while replying to the debate on the motion of thanks to the President's address.

Recalling the Pravasi Bharatiya convention organised in January 2003, the Prime Minister said Indians living abroad had made a good future for themselves and also had a commitment towards their country of origin.
