India and US confirm nuclear pact
India would be able to use US technology in its nuclear facilities
|
India and the United States say that they have finalised a deal on civilian nuclear co-operation, which would end three decades of US sanctions.
A statement released by both sides described the deal, which has been held up in negotiations for two years, as a "historic milestone".
The deal guarantees India fuel supplies for its civilian programme, and allows it to reprocess spent fuel.
India denied it would use the deal to expand its nuclear weapons programme.
