NSG grants waiver, India joins nuke club.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said: "We welcome the decision of the Nuclear Suppliers Group to adjust its guidelines to enable full civil nuclear cooperation with India. This is a forward-looking and momentous decision. It marks the end of India’s decades long isolation from the nuclear mainstream and of the technology denial regime. It is a recognition of India’s impeccable non-proliferation credentials and its status as a state with advanced nuclear technology. It will give an impetus to India’s pursuit of environmentally sustainable economic growth.
"I thank the United States and other member countries of the Nuclear Suppliers Group for the role they have played in ensuring this outcome. The opening of full civil nuclear cooperation between India and the international community will be good for India and for the world. We look forward to establishing a mutually beneficial partnership with friendly countries in an area which is important for both global energy security as well as to meet the challenge of climate change."
Great victory for India: Samajwadi Party
Samajwadi Party termed the waiver as a great victory for India, and said it would help the country in its development.
"India needs development and not nuclear bombs," SP general secretary Amar Singh said, criticising the opposition parties for "beating around the bush."
Quoting former President A P J Abdul Kalam, he said India required no more nuclear tests as the previous two tests have proved that the country is a nuclear-capable state.
Bush praises Singh for "strong leadership"
US President George W Bush today praised the "strong leadership" of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for the success at the NSG, which granted a waiver for India to conduct nuclear commerce.
PMO sources said Bush spoke to Singh over telephone, and praised him for his "strong leadership" and the way he handled the issue with a lot of dignity.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh thanked Bush for his role in taking forward the civil nuclear initiative, and the decision by the NSG to adjust its guidelines to enable full civil nuclear coperation between India and the international community.
The two leaders expressed their belief that mutually beneficial relations between India and the United States were in the interest of their people and were on a path of steady
consolidation and multifaceted expansion.
