New Delhi:
In an effort to muster maximum support in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) for the India-U.S. civil nuclear deal, Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran has gone on a visit to Norway and Sweden, which have reservations with regard to the agreement. Mr. Saran, accompanied by senior officials from the External Affairs Ministry and Department of Atomic Energy, will seek to persuade these countries to support allowing international nuclear trade with India. Under the civil nuclear deal, the 45-country NSG is required to endorse through consensus the agreement so that member countries could open trade with India in this area. The Indian side is expected to cite the country's impeccable record on non-proliferation . — PTI
