Australia PM Tony Abbott arrives in India; nuclear deal on cards

New Delhi/Mumbai, Sep 04 (ANI): Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott arrived in Mumbai on Thursday morning to sign a long-awaited deal to sell uranium to his energy-starved hosts and strengthen bilateral ties. Tony Abbott told parliament in Canberra that he hoped to sign a deal this week to sell uranium to India for peaceful power generation, but halted uranium exports to Russia over Moscow's role in Ukraine. Work on an India-Australia agreement has been underway since Australia, which has 40 percent of the world's known uranium reserves, lifted a long-standing ban on selling uranium to energy-starved India in 2012. Nuclear-armed India and Australia have been working on a safeguards agreement since then to ensure any uranium exports from Australia are used purely for peaceful purposes. So far India and Australia have had five rounds of negotiations on the nuclear pact. Bhattacharya added that India expects significant outcome from the visit to further enhance bilateral partnership. During his two-day visit, India and Australia would look at ways to deepen strategic ties and strengthen two-way trade and commerce. Abbott is visiting India and Malaysia as he seeks to deepen trade and personal ties in Asia ahead of the Group of 20 Leaders Summit scheduled to take place in Brisbane i Sep 4, 2014

China may feel threatened with Indo-Japan nuclear ties, say analysts

New Delhi, Sept 1 (ANI): Analysts in New Delhi said on Monday that China could see a nuclear deal between India and Japan as a potential threat to itself. Before his visit to Japan, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi listed manufacturing, infrastructure and energy as key areas for cooperation. Modi will also lobby for Abe to back a nuclear energy pact, although hopes of striking a similar accord to the one reached with the United States in 2008 had faded in the run-up to the visit. Analysts say that a nuclear deal between India and Japan would raise concerns in China which would see such a pact as a threat to itself. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said negotiations were on for a civil nuclear agreement with Japan, indicating that the deal is not likely to be sealed during his ongoing five-day visit to the country. Japan is known to have been sensitive about the nuclear issue seeing that it has been the only country in the world to have suffered two nuclear attacks. It wants explicit guarantees from India, which has not signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, to limit atomic tests and allow closer inspection of its facilities to ensure that spent fuel is not used to make bombs.
