Britain and India have agreed the text of a deal on civil nuclear cooperation, ministers from both countries announced after talks in London on Thursday.

"The two sides have discussed and negotiated a civil nuclear energy cooperation agreement and we hope that will be signed soon," Indian Commerce Minister Anand Sharma said during a visit for trade talks.
