June 24, 2016 07:46

The high-level meeting of the Nuclear Suppliers Group is underway in Seoul.

In the meeting, induction of non-Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty countries like India is being discussed.

Earlier, the first-day meeting of the two-day 26th Plenary of the Nuclear Suppliers' Group concluded late Thursday evening with no consensus emerging on India's induction to the elite group so far.

Highly-placed sources told ANI that China is not the sole opponent to India's membership to the NSG.

Brazil, Austria, Ireland, Turkey and New Zealand too have opposed India's entry, citing that it is not a NPT signatory.

Mexico, however, backed India's membership.
