NSG hopeful of giving waiver to India

VIENNA: Ahead of a key meeting between India and the International Atomic Energy Agency on a safeguards agreement for the implementation of the India-United States civilian nuclear deal, the 45-member Nuclear Suppliers’ Group is optimistic about giving a waiver to New Delhi before March to allow nuclear commerce with it.

It is learnt that countries such as Switzerland and New Zealand, which had been resisting the move, had softened their stand and in fact were working towards making a written draft on the exemption to enable trade in nuclear material and technology with India. — PTI
