Finland closely following Indo-US N-deal
Helsinki, Sept. 6 (PTI): Finland, a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, is closely following the Indo-US civil nuclear deal but is yet to take a decision on supporting India's move for adjusting the NSG guidelines for trade in atomic materials and sharing of know-how.
Senior Foreign Ministry officials of Finland, who did not wish to be named, told a group of visiting Indian journalists that a decision in this regard "will be taken in due course of time."
"This is a political issue and will be decided at a political level," said one official.
India and the US have finalised a draft 123 agreement to implement the nuclear deal. India also has to negotiate two separate agreements to operationalise the deal a country-specific safeguards pact with the International Atomic Energy Agency and another agreement with the NSG.
The officials also said they understood that the issue of global nuclear cooperation is "very important" for India.
