PM tells China: Contribute to emerging consensus in Seoul

June 23, 2016 18:19

MEA on the Modi-Xi meet: "PM Modi urged China to make a fair and objective assessment of India's application on merit. PM Modi said that China should contribute to emerging consensus in Seoul."

On a question about India's inclusion in the NSG, MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, "It's a complex & delicate negotiation process that's going on in #Seoul, we should wait."

As India makes a strong bid for membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday met Chinese President Xi Jinping and is understood to have sought China's support for it, seen as very crucial to take forward the process.

The outcome of the meeting between Modi and Xi in Tashkent will determine proceedings at the two-day plenary meeting of the atomic trading club which began in Seoul on Thursday, sources said.
