India a lucrative market for nuclear-selling nations

India quenching nuclear thirst from all around Pakisyan Observer, June 03, 2013 – AFTER entering into an agreement with the United States in 2008 for sharing of civilian nuclear technology, Indian Prime Minister during his recent visit to Japan reached yet another deal with Tokyo to deepen their defense cooperation and to reopen talks for a nuclear-energy agreement that would let Japanese companies export nuclear reactors andtechnology to India.

It reflects Indian quest for quenching nuclear thirst from all around and become a major nuclear power. However it is astonishing that peace loving Japan, the only country that suffered from nuclear weapons during the second world war and had been opposing the nuclear proliferation, has readily agreed to the Indian demand. There is all the possibility that the agreement between Japan and India that could become the key to deepening their nuclear relationship would lead to use of the technology for weapons. It is no secret that India is not a signatory to the CTBT while Japan has all along been urging New Delhi and Islamabad to sign it and in this background Japan’s decision to supply nuclear technology to India would be a source of serious concern in Pakistan. ….. http://pakobserver.net/detailnews.asp?id=208624
