NEW DELHI, June 14: India and the United States made good progress at talks to finalise the draft of a landmark nuclear agreement and a pact was expected to be concluded soon, officials said on Wednesday.
The comments came at the end of three days of talks between negotiators seeking to iron out differences over the deal, which would allow sales of U.S. nuclear reactors and fuel to India.
“The talks were positive and constructive. We hope to conclude them as soon as possible,” a US embassy spokesman said.
“This was the first round of technical talks and each side has to go back, look at the drafts and figure out the next steps,” he said. “The goal still remains to finish this as quickly as possible.”—Reuters
