New Delhi, Dec 18 (IANS): India is fully committed to implementing the Vienna Conventions and would also ask for their full implementation by the US, the spokesperson of the external affairs ministry said here Wednesday.

"We are committed to implementing the Vienna Conventions, will implement them fully and ask them to be implemented fully," Syed Akbaruddin told television channel Times Now in relation to the row over the case of Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade.

Relations between nations are governed by the twin covenants - the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961, and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963, which define internationally accepted rules regarding diplomatic immunity and procedures.

On being asked about the removal of barricades outside the US embassy in Delhi Tuesday, he said: "There is no change in the security situation with regard to any diplomats in India, including the US diplomats. They will have full safety and security within the confines of the Indian law."
