India urged to take necessary step on nuclear liability bill

Washington, Sep 29 (PTI) US Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton, during her meeting with Indian External Affairs
Minister S M Krishna, in New York this week urged India to
take necessary steps to ensure the nuclear liability bill
conforms to international standards, a top American official
has said.
"The secretary urged India to take the steps necessary
to ensure that its nuclear liability regime conforms with the
Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage,"
State Departments spokesperson Victoria Nuland told reporters
at her daily news conference.
"We continue to hope that that can move forward
quickly," she said. "There are some decisions that have to be
made on the Indian side," Nuland said when asked about the
delay in the implementation of the civilian nuclear deal.
Refuting reports that the relationship between the two
countries is not that good, Nuland said the agenda of the
Clinton-Krishna meeting in New York was very strong, very rich
and very vigorous.
"We are working on a huge number of things together,
bilaterally, regionally, globally," she said, adding, "We
continue to pursue that on all fronts."
