‘A landmark decision’

VIENNA: A top United States official has termed the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) waiver a landmark decision that would strengthen the non-proliferation regime and tackle the global challenge of clean energy.

It was an important moment for strengthening the global non-proliferation regime, John Rood, U.S. acting Under Secretary of State for Arms Control, said.

He said the “very important” statement of External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Friday, which spoke of India’s commitment towards strengthening the non-proliferation system, played a major role in the discussions at the NSG.

Members of the NSG approached the issue in a serious manner. “Countries had particular concerns, particular historical experience but they approached the issue with the required constructive and cooperative attitude,” he said. — PTI
