PM returns after 3-day Russia visit

On Monday,the two sides signed a path-breaking civil nuclear agreement that will guarantee uninterrupted uranium fuel supplies for Indian atomic reactors and transfer of technology.

The deal is seen as going much forward for the benefit of India than the historic 123 atomic agreement with the US which does not guarantee fuel supplies without any break.

Singh had described the the Inter-Governmental framework agreement for civil nuclear cooperation as a “major step” forward and said India was “very satisfied” at the development of bilateral atomic cooperation.
