India-U.S. sign nuclear deal, create history
By agencies | Thursday, 02 March 2006, 00:00 Hrs
NEW DELHI: President George W Bush and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said their countries had reached agreement on a landmark nuclear deal.
"We concluded an historic agreement today on nuclear power," Bush said during a joint press conference.
Under the accord, the U.S. would share American nuclear know-how and fuel with India to help power its fast-growing economy, even though India won't sign the international non-proliferation treaty.
It would represent a major shift in policy for the U.S, which imposed temporary sanctions on India in 1998 after it conducted nuclear tests, and came after last minute haggling about how to separate India's tightly entwined civilian and nuclear programs.
"We have reached an understanding on the implementation of our agreement on civil nuclear cooperation," Singh said. "I have conveyed to the President that India has finalized the identification of civilian facilities to which we had committed."
Negotiations on the deal went down to the wire, with details being hammered out even after Bush had arrived in New Delhi. "It's not an easy job for the Prime Minister to achieve this agreement," Bush said. "I understand. It's not easy for the American President to achieve this agreement."
