Russia for early conclusion of Indo-US N-deal
Delhi, Jun 17 (PTI) Keen to have civil nuclear cooperation with India, Russia today came out in strong support of the Indo-US atomic deal, saying it is "useful" for New Delhi and favoured early conclusion of the agreement.
"In my personal assessment, in principle, by-and-large the Indo-US nuclear deal is useful for India," Russian Ambassador Vyacheslav Trubnikov told reporters. "sooner or later this deal will be signed, probably with some modifications" as not only India and the US but the world is interested in it.
"India should sign the nuclear deal (with US). The sooner is better than later," he said, adding the agreement would open doors for New Delhi for expanded cooperation in the field.However, it was for India to decide "at what price it has to strike the deal". His comments came amid the government's efforts to conclude the steps involved in the nuclear deal in the face of stiff resistance from Left allies.
IMO: There is absolutely no doubt that India needs a lot more clean power.
