WASHINGTON, June 2 (UPI) -- India wants the World Trade Organization to preserve the right of corporations to shift production offshore, a trend that richly benefits the Asian economy.

"We are very concerned because all these noises just keep coming," India's Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath said.

Nath also said New Delhi would like to put the issue of a ban on outsourcing jobs "once and for all behind us," the Press Trust of India reported Thursday.

"Concerns about outsourcing are based more on emotions than economics," he said Wednesday.

His remarks follow calls from several U.S. states to ban or limit outsourcing.
