Historic: Sonia Gandhi

NEW DELHI: Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday described the NSG waiver as a “historic moment” and congratulated Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for his conviction and commitment to pursue with determination India’s integration with the global mainstream to meet the requirements of India’s energy security.

“This is a historic moment. Three decades of isolation have ended. This is a tribute to India’s impeccable credentials and genuine quest for energy security,” she said in a statement noting that the waiver marked the culmination of enormous efforts and skilful negotiations by Indian diplomats.

With this decisive step, the Congress president said India would also work with other countries towards ensuring global energy security and addressing the issue of climate change.
