India and South Korea are on pace to come to an agreement on nuclear energy collaboration before the start of 2011, the Asahi Shimbun reported yesterday (see GSN, July 14).
The deal could give South Korean nuclear suppliers access to the burgeoning Indian atomic energy market.
The agreement could upset North Korea, though government sources in Seoul said not much worry was voiced over the trade deal with the nuclear-armed South Asian nation. Both India and the North have developed nuclear weapons outside the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
