US still for India`s entry into NSG |
The US is "disappointed" that India was not admitted to NSG during its recent plenary in Seoul, US Ambassador to India Richard Verma said on June 27 in New Delhi but asserted that it will continue to work with all the members of 48-nation grouping on India`s accession in the months ahead.Referring to India-US civil nuclear cooperation, he said the two sides have moved forward on a 15-year project to build six Westinghouse reactors producing power for some 60 million people. Addressing the Atlantic Council US-India Trade Initiative workshop, Verma talked about the US` strong support for India`s role in global institutions, like having a seat on a reformed UN security council. The US will continue to welcome India`s interest in APEC, and affirm its support for India`s accession into the multi-lateral export control regimes. The US administration, including senior White House and state department officials, made a concerted effort to secure India`s membership in the recent NSG plenary session held in Seoul.
