Jaishankar may not have succeeded in getting India admitted into the Nuclear Suppliers Group but on Monday he will have the satisfaction of a photo-op when he is presented with the formal credentials of Indian membership in the 34-nation Missile Technology Control Group.
Similar to the NSG bid, India had also stumbled at the first roadblock on the path into MTCR club.
The United States and France have been strong advocates for India joining the group.
France, in its capacity as the MTCR’s Reinforced Point of Contact, asked India to complete some more paperwork. This included a written assurance that India had read and agreed to all the guidelines and letters of the regime.
The Ministry of External Affairs sent a note verbale to Paris which in turn circulated the final form of the proposal to admit India to all members.
As per procedures, MTCR partners had to revert with note verbales confirming their acceptance. On evening of June 24, France received the last such confirmation.
With the completion of all requirements, ambassadors of France, Netherlands and Luxembourg will jointly hand over a letter confirming Indian membership to Jaishankar on Monday, June 27.
“From Monday, India will be on the restricted circulation network of the regime,” sources added.
It effectively means that India will be participating as a full partner at the next plenary meeting of MTCR in Seoul.
