While India is negotiating with the US on the civilian nuclear deal that has captured the media attention on the last 21 months, Indian officials and diasporas supporting the NSG Campaign for India is seeking all support from the NSG members to exempt India from nuclear explort ban... in a positive stance, that the current impasse is a result of economic factor, not political ones. India will have to get the nod of all 45 members if its wants to get the imbargo lifted.
Interestingly the proponents of revision of global nuclear rules in favour of India are US, Russia, France and UK, of which many are pushing to rewrite the rules and allow nuclear trade with India. Recently, China agreeing to promote cooperation in the field of nuclear energy with India also showed a significant shift from the past. Even countries like South Africa has absolutely no problems in supporting India and hopes Canada will come out to support. However countries such as New Zealand, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Australia are of concern. This is true partially with Japan.
Japanse Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is said to have told the Indian Government that Japan want India firsit to conclude the bilateral civil nuclear-energy pact (refering to section 123 of US Atomic Energy Act of 1954) with US and a safeguard agreement with the IEAA. Japan will decide on supporting India at the NSG only after this. Hmm!! for sure we need the support from Japan ad I would urge every law makers, diplomats, citizens of Japan to support India. To this would urge the Indian diaspora set talk about the issues and reasoning why this is important for us.. make help change the stage. It is only when NSG lift the sanction nuclear energy can become a reality in India - securing the needs of India's fast growing economy + socio economic growth.
