No let up in efforts to secure NSG membership: India

NEW DELHI: Notwithstanding China's opposition to its entry into the NSG, India said today that it will continue its engagement with member countries and there will be no let up in its efforts to work towards securing the membership of the elite group.

This assumes significance after China, earlier this week, said there is no change in its stance on admission of non-NPT states into the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), ahead of the grouping's plenary meeting next month in Switzerland.

“Our efforts for an NSG membership will continue. We will continue to be engaged with member countries. Our efforts will continue and there will be no let up in our efforts,” Gopal Baglay, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson, said.
