Stuck N-deal to figure in Modi-Obama talks

December 29, 2014 11:08

The second bilateral meeting of US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 25, will see them discussing priority areas in the ties from trade to terrorism. It is likely the stalled civil nuclear deal, signed in 2008, might see some movement.

"Some mechanism will be worked out this time, within our parameters," a senior official, involved in the talks said. The official said the deal was stuck on matters related to "monetising the pact".

Also known as the '123-agreement', it has been stuck since signing because the US had reservations about India's Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act of 2010.
