Do not give political colour to India's bid for nuke tech: FS to China

December 09, 2016 23:52

Calling for respecting each other's legitimate aspirations, India today said China should not give a political colour to its efforts to access civilian nuclear technology, a reference to Beijing's opposition to its NSG bid.

In his address to India China Think-Tanks Forum, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar also pitched for bilateral cooperation in dealing with "fundamentalist terrorism", expressing dismay over the two countries not being able to come together on the issue at critical international forums.

Talking about threat of terrorism, he said "As diverse and pluralistic societies, we both face threats from fundamentalist terrorism. Yet, we do not seem to be able to cooperate as effectively we should in some critical international forums dealing with this subject."
