U.S. Reaffirms Backing of Indian Nuclear Pact
The United State said it still completely backs its civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with India and intends to honor every obligation made during President Obama's trip to New Delhi late last year, Asian News International reported on Saturday (see GSN, July 7).The 46-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group in 2008 granted a special exception enabling its members to engage in civilian atomic trade with India, even though the nuclear-armed South Asian state has not signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Last month, though, the organization acted to prohibit the export of nuclear fuel enrichment and reprocessing systems to countries outside the treaty.
