Washington, Nov 24 (ANI): Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and US President Barack Obama pledged on Tuesday to fully implement the civil nuclear deal signed by the two countries in 2008.
The deal allows the US to sell advanced nuclear related technology to India for use in civilian power.
“President Obama has affirmed that it is common resolve of two governments to operationalise the nuke deal as early as possible,” said Dr. Singh when asked about the operationalisation of the deal.
“We should cooperate in addressing global challenges of combating terrorism, making our environment cleaner, and moving towards a world free of nuclear weapons,” he added.
To prevent the spread of atomic weapons and pursuing the shared vision of a nuclear arms-free world, President Obama said India could be a full partner of the US in this regard.
“As nuclear powers, we can be full partners in preventing the spread of the world’s most deadly weapons, securing loose nuclear materials from terrorists, and pursuing our shared vision of a world without nuclear weapons,” Obama said after his meeting with Dr. Singh.
The nuclear deal is seen as the centrepiece of the strong ties between the two countries in recent years. (ANI)
