India Japan Nuke Deal

India today asserted that the termination clause in the Nuclear Cooperation Agreement (NCA) with Japan was nothing "new" and that New Delhi had made no additional commitments to clinch the deal other than what it had committed itself to while declaring a unilateral moratorium on testing nuclear weapons in 2008.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is on a three-day visit to Japan, is expected to seal a landmark nuclear energy pact that will materialise after six years of negotiations. The visit - his second to Japan in two years -- comes as China's influence grows in the region.
