The United States, France and Russia have agreed on the need to have full international civilian nuclear cooperation with India, the Lok Sabha was informed.
Replying to written questions in Lok Sabha, Minister of State for External Affairs Rao Inderjit Singh said the government was engaged in discussions with these countries as well as others to further deepen bilateral cooperation in this sphere and to achieve the objective of full civilian nuclear cooperation.
He said India has an abiding interest in the goals of universal nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
India continues to believe that the best and most effective nuclear non-proliferation measure would be a credible and time-bound commitment to eliminate nuclear weapons worldwide, Singh said and added, that as a responsible nuclear weapon state, India is conscious of its obligations to exercise effective control over weapons of mass destruction technologies and their delivery system.
