India’s quest for membership of the elite Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) has received a boost with the non-proliferation body deciding to include the issue at its plenary meeting in the third week of June.
The move came following an outreach meeting between India,which was led by Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao,and the NSG troika of The Netherlands,New Zealand and Hungary at The Hague on Monday.
Describing the decision by the 46-member NSG as significant,officials here feel that it will also help India in taking forward its discussions with other multi-lateral export control regimes like the Missile Technology Control Regime,the Wassenaar Arrangement,and the Australia Group as the objectives of these bodies were common.
