India, South Korea to launch talks for civil nuclear pact
India and South Korea agreed to launch negotiations for a civil nuclear energy agreement, even as economic ties continued to expand after implementation of a comprehensive economic pact. This was discussed during a India-South Korea joint commission meeting in Seoul on Friday, which was chaired by Indian External Affairs minister S. M. Krishna and Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Yu Myung-hwan. The negotiations are expected to pave the way for South Korea to export a nuclear power plant to India. South Korea was among the countries that had supported India in the Nuclear Suppliers Group lifting restrictions on civil nuclear trade.
