Progress in Indo-US nuclear deal: Krishna

Washington: External Affairs Minister SM Krishna on Thursday said that the MoU inked between a US firm Westinghouse Electric and the Nuclear Power Company of India to install America's first nuclear reactor in Gujarat should end all speculations on the implementation of the 2008 Indo-US civil nuclear deal.

Krishna also requested the US for access to the 26/11 attacks accused David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Rana. The US commended India for cutting Iran oil purchases.

The third India-US strategic dialogue chaired by Kishna and US Secretary of state Hillary Clinton came to an end on Wednesday night.

Krishna also requested the US for access to the 26/11 attacks accused David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Rana.

"We welcomed the tangible progress on our civil nuclear energy cooperation with the singing of the MOU between NPCIL and Westinghouse. I think this should put a test on some of the interpretation and some of the confusion that was prevailing," Krishna said.
