Japan, India Begin Talks to Cooperate in Nuclear Power Generation
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 28 - 06 - 2010

India and Japan on Monday
began crucial talks to clinch a deal to cooperate in the
civilian nuclear energy that would allow sales of advanced
technology by Japanese majors like Mitsubishi and Hitachi.
Japan has so far been aloof to nuclear technology
sharing with India because of New Delhi not being a signatory
to the NPT.
The ice was broken at a meeting between Indian Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh and his new Japanese counterpart Naoto
Kan on the fringes of the G-20 summit in Toronto, Japanese
officials said.
Noting the recent progress in bilateral cooperation in
civilian nuclear development, Singh expressed hope for further
collaboration in the sector, and Kan responded that there are
a number of things Tokyo can cooperate with, Kyodo news agency
quoted the Japanese officials as saying.
Singh and Kan, who met for the first time since the
latter became the Japanese Prime Minister early this month,
also agreed on the need to deepen bilateral ties, while
working toward a strategic and global partnership, officials
said.
Hours after Singh and Kan met in Toronto, senior
Indian and Japanese officials began the first round of talks
today at the Japanese Foreign Ministry in Tokyo aimed at
sealing a bilateral civilian nuclear cooperation pact.
During the two-day meeting, the two countries will try
to work out arrangements to allow Japan to export its nuclear
power generation technology and related equipment to India
while banning India from using them for military purposes and
transferring them to another country, Kyodo news reported.
India is represented by Gautam Bambawale, Joint
Secretary (East Asia) in Ministry of External Affairs and
Mitsuru Kitano, Deputy-Director General, Southeast and
Southwest Asian Affairs Department from the Japanese side.
Japan wants to sign the agreement at an early date in
line with the new 10-year growth strategy adopted June 18 by
its Cabinet, the highlights of which include promoting the
export of nuclear power generation facilities, it said.
