PM-NUCLEAR 2 LST


The Prime Minister said India has a unilateral
moratorium on testing imposed voluntarily and that it stands
by that.

"We would like to work with President Obama to promote
the cause of global nuclear disarmament, a world free of
nuclear weapons," Singh said.
"I think that is a world which has been the dream of
our leaders from Jawaharlal Nehru to Rajiv Gandhi. We would
like to work with all like-minded countries to achieve that
goal," he said.
Singh also hoped that the US will be "more liberal" in
transferring technologies to India and clear the way for
implementing the landmark agreement on nuclear cooperation.
"We had a watershed and a landmark agreement with the
US on nuclear cooperation. We would like to operationalise it
and ensure that the objectives for the nuclear deal are
realised in full merit," he said.
Singh said the restrictions on technology transfers
to India "make no sense" since the country has an impeccable
record of non-proliferation.
