Canada to resume supply

It will be made under IAEA safeguards: joint statement

OTTAWA: In another step towards India's integration with the international nuclear regime, Canada has agreed to resume supply of nuclear-related ``dual-use items'' to Indian civilian facilities, more than three decades after halting them.

A joint statement, issued after talks between visiting External Affairs Minister K. Natwar Singh and his Canadian counterpart, Pierre Pettigrew, here on Tuesday, said Canada agreed to ``allow the supply of nuclear-related dual-use items to Indian civilian nuclear facilities under International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards, in accordance with the requirements of the Nuclear Suppliers Group's dual-use guidelines.'' — PTI
