US envoy lauds India’s track record on non-proliferation issues | The United States Ambassador to India, Timothy J. Roemer, here on Tuesday said the US recognises that Prime Minister Singh shares President Obama’s bold vision for a nuclear weapons-free world, and applaud India’s robust track record on nuclear non-proliferation issues. “The United States recognizes the dangers of
nuclear terrorism and proliferation as the most extreme threat to global security,
requiring coordinated, inspired and resolute action. We recognize that Prime Minister
Singh shares President Obama’s bold vision for a nuclear weapons-free world, and
applaud India ’s robust track record on nuclear nonproliferation issues,” said
Roemer in the national capital. About Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s announcement
on setting up of Global Center for Nuclear Energy Partnership in India , Roemer
said: “ India ’s announcement of its intention to open a “ Global Center for Nuclear
Energy Partnership in India ” with a special focus on training and research on
safety, security, and proliferation prevention, demonstrates its commitment to
leadership in this area. India has shown remarkable leadership on a global basis
on this issue.” Roemer further said: “This type of initiative reflects the understanding
that we need to work together and take concrete steps towards securing nuclear
and radiological material and we congratulate India for taking such initiative.”
“Our two countries look forward to the day when the nations and peoples of the
world can rest secure, liberated from the threat and danger of nuclear weapons.
