Morning Star.png Delhi Confident China Will Back Nuclear Supplier Bid The Morning Star, London, 20 June 2016 India's government said yesterday it was confident that China would join the US in backing its bid for membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group of nations. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said that, while China did not oppose India's entry into the group controlling access to nuclear technology, it has raised objections relating to criteria and processes. India has not ratified the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, a condition for membership. Asked whether China was linking India's membership of the nuclear group with fellow applicant and nuclear-armed rival Pakistan, Ms Swaraj said: "India is not yet a member of the group and it has no say on the membership of any other country." "We will not oppose any other country's membership, but would like it to be decided on merit." The group is focused on restricting nuclear proliferation by restricting access to bomb-making technology.
