India and NSG-News, Updates and Discussions.

After China’s claim that the plenary meeting of Nuclear Suppliers Group in Seoul did not discuss accession of any specific country, Minister of State for External Affairs General V K Singh today expressed surprise over media reports that Beijing had blocked India’s bid for entry in the elite grouping.

“The speculation doing the rounds in media regarding China’s protest over NSG membership to India is not true,” he said on the sidelines of a function here.

Singh’s remarks came a day after China accused the US of ignoring facts over India not getting entry into the NSG and claimed that the plenary meeting of the elite grouping in Seoul did not discuss the accession of any specific country.

China’s assertion came in response to the remarks by US Under Secretary for Political Affairs Tom Shannon that India failed to get entry into Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) due to China-led opposition.

Singh said the NSG meeting was held behind closed doors.

“Whether China had opposed India’s bid or not could be told only by those present in the closed-door meeting,” he said.

Singh said deliberations held behind closed doors could not be made public and added that India has been trying for NSG membership since 2008.

On a query about relations with neighbouring countries, he said India was making continuous efforts in this direction.

He said due to better ties, India could talk to Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia and China any time.

Regarding Pakistan, he said relations improve through talks, therefore, instead of negative approach, India maintains a positive gesture.

Singh said in Pakistan, army, terrorist organisations and the government were running their own system.

“It is not clear, who is running the government in Pakistan. We can talk to the elected government, therefore our positive approach is not giving expected results,” he said.

On whether India’s stand towards Pakistan was soft, he said New Delhi was doing whatever was necessary and expected.

Oh nooooooo... China is held accountable for US's failure to support India in NSG membership.:cray:
Don't worry to get into MCTR China will have to kiss so many rear that they will call them racist as well.

A side note, I think what India and Pakistan are doing to each other on this issue is detrimental to each other. They are both acting foolish.

I think India should have asked for pakistans support for the membership and should have offered support for their membership. They didn't do it since they had major support already but rather Pakistan should have done this out of its own. Right now, India is already viewed as responsible and respectable nuclear power. It's path to membership is not difficult.


But on the other hand Pakistan, could have got the support from India and could have the roadmap to the membership. I believe that it might have not been possible in the first go. But later down the road it would have been easier for them.

Pakistan needs this more than India does. India already has an exception built into it and it's a one time exception. They already enjoy the nuclear commerce with NSG members. But Pakistan is yet to not only get into that part of the business but rather the basic issue is the legitemancy of their nuclear actions.

Pakistans past has been full of fiascos on the nuclear front. Starting from the Bill Clinton to the pakistans nuclear father to gadaffi incident to the bush and Obama had all raised red flags over the Pakistan as a nuclear state. An entry into the NSG could be the end of all this. @Oscar
