Nuclear energy to meet rising needs, says PM

New Delhi, Jul 23 : to Egypt and some other countries in the region to ensure they vote in India's favour. The two other secretaries in the MEA, N Ravi and Nalin Surie, are also likely to travel to some of the countries that are either in the IAEA board or in the NSG to get them to rally behind the Indian cause.

The IAEA board of governors has 35 members, of which 19, including the US, Britain, France, Russia and China, are also members of the NSG.

India is a founder member of the IAEA board, but not a member of the NSG. Though it will actively participate in the IAEA discussions, slated for August 1, it will not be a party to the debate in the NSG. For the latter, it will depend on the US to convince the 45 members in the group to get the requisite amendments in its guideline for commerce on civil nuclear energy between its members and India.
