Uranium talks with Canberra stalled

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: Further talks on sourcing uranium from Australia are stalled although Canberra had agreed in principle to supply uranium to India after waiver of guidelines by the NSG.

“It was decided that official level discussions would follow. But it has not happened yet,” Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Prithviraj Chavan told Rajya Sabha on Thursday.

The Conservative government, led by John Howard, had agreed in principle to supply uranium to India and follow up talks on the subject were to be held later. But the policy was reversed after the Labour Party led by Kevin Rudd came to power.

In fact, senior Ministers in Canberra even said they were yet to finalise their stand to be taken at the NSG.
