US-India nuclear deal moving slowly |
2007-03-09 |
![]() But officials are now less optimistic, amid reports that the United States and India are bickering over the formulation of a bilateral agreement incorporating all technical details of the deal. New Delhi meanwhile has not formally negotiated with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over a set of atomic safeguards which it should adhere to under the pact. Also, the 45-nation Nuclear SuppliersÂ’ Group (NSG) has not formally sanctioned the deal, under which Washington created a rare exception for India from US law, which prohibits nuclear sales to Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (NPT) non-signatories. |
