NSG plenary session: China to again shatter Indian dreams of NSG membership
Shares
New Delhi: The Nuclear Suppliers Group NSG plenary session is being held in Switzerland next month where Indian application for the membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group is pending before the member states.
The next plenary session of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) is likely to be held in Swiss capital Bern next month, but the chances of any breakthrough on India's entry into the elite group still look slim, given China's persistent opposition to it.
India had officially applied for membership of the grouping which controls export of nuclear materials, equipment and technology in May last year.
The matter came up for discussion at the Seoul plenary session of the NSG in June last year, but yielded little result with Beijing scuttling India's bid on the ground that it was not a signatory to the non-proliferation treaty (NPT).
