US, India inch closer to nuclear deal: Indian official

Canada, India ready nuclear energy agreement
Port Of Spain (AFP) Nov 28, 2009 - Canada and India concluded negotiations Saturday on a nuclear cooperation agreement on the sidelines of the Commonwealth summit in Trinidad. "Increased collaboration with India's civilian nuclear energy market will allow Canadian companies to benefit from greater access to one of the world's largest and fastest expanding economies," Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said, according to a statement from his office. The agreement will allow Canadian firms to export and import controlled nuclear materials, equipment and technology to and from India, it added. Canada's nuclear energy industry exports are worth some 1.2 billion Canadian dollars (1.13 billion US dollars) a year, according to Canada's government.

 India and the United States are close to signing a nuclear fuel reprocessing agreement, one of the last requirements to finalise last year's landmark civilian nuclear deal, an official said Sunday.

Indian National Security Adviser M.K. Narayanan told reporters "we have arrived at almost the very last stage" of negotiations.

Narayanan was speaking on board Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's plane as he returned from a Commonwealth summit in Trinidad and Tobago.

The establishment of nuclear reprocessing facilities under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards is a critical component of the implementation of the Indo-US nuclear deal, sealed in 2008 with former US president George W. Bush.

The agreement allows India access to civilian nuclear energy despite its refusal to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Singh said on an official visit to Washington last week that he was confident US President Barack Obama would "operationalise the nuclear deal as early as possible."
