India's bid at becoming a full-fledged member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) may become a possibility after a Chinese diplomat stated that China is willing to consider it.

According to Reuters, leaders in New Delhi had substantive talks with Beijing on India's attempt to join the NSG, which currently includes 48 countries including China that trades in the civil nuclear technology. In a bid to reduce India's dependency on fossil fuels, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been campaigning to join the NSG. It would allow the country to build nuclear power plants in partnership with Russia, the United States and France.

"On the issue of joining the NSG, China and India have all along had very good communications, and (China) is willing to have further communications with the Indian side, to increase consensus," China's Vice Foreign Minister Li Baodong told reporters ahead of President Xi Jinping's visit to Goa for the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) summit.

"On this, China is willing to jointly explore all kinds of possibilities with India, but this must accord with the charter of the NSG, and certain rules need to be respected by all sides," Li added.

According to the Pakistan Observer, the several parameters that would have to be considered before India's membership in NSG becomes a reality include: the criteria issue, the evolving global nuclear order, the south Asian strategic stability and the regional strategic environment, which would all have an impact on South Asia's nuclear future.

As per an NSG waiver of 2008, India is allowed to engage in in nuclear commerce, but does not have a vote in the organisation's decision making.

hmmm, looks like Indian campaign for boycott of Chinese wares has produced results,


@Chinese-Dragon @AndrewJin @grey boy 2 @Sinopakfriend : Any comments for Indian media claims?

I think the Chinese are just trolling the Indians because they just don't want to hear any Indian wailing and whining at the BRICS summit.

Don't understand why we even want NSG membership. We already have waiver and i don't think we are looking for any export of Nuclear material or Technology. Even if L&T interested, then can still do this by forming offshore company in other country. And I am sure China definitely wants something in return for sure.

Basically our stance is the same as before.

China and India are NOT friends (putting it lightly). So what are you going to offer us in return?

Do you make friends without getting anything in return?

That's not an offer. That's you trying to make money off us.

Our friends like Pakistan already have our support in the NSG. India is a rival who attacked us in 1962 (and lost), so they need to pay up.

So since Pakistan is your FRIEND, you do not seek anything in return for all favours like you seek from India?

I just want to analyse the dichotomy here.

PS: Pakistan has chinese support and India has NSG waiver.

To tell you frankly India can do without NSG membership and Masood Azhar. Perhaps its giving the guys sitting in south bloc some sadistic pleasure to see China taking an isolated stand on these issues.
