US rules out India-like nuke deal with Pak | The United States has ruled out any India-like civil
nuclear cooperation deal with Pakistan, dashing Islamabad’s hopes of getting an atomic power plant. A senior Obama administration official revealed that while
Washington is working closely with Pakistan to help meet its growing energy needs,
nuclear power is not part of the discussions. “But nuclear power is not currently
part of our discussions, and the United States had conveyed its decision to Pakistan,”
The Dawn quoted the official, as telling Indian journalists. He added that the
administration had also told Pakistan that “there is no way they can get a civilian
nuclear deal similar to the one the Obama administration has signed with India”.
The Indo-US civilian nuclear deal, the official said, was “specific to India only
and there is no thinking going on in the administration to create a template for
it.” |
