Nuclear Talks End on Positive Note

India and the United States emerged upbeat from three days of talks on nuclear nonproliferation, though there was no sign of a breakthrough on specific issues. The two sides said progress was made during the latest round of discussions, their eighth since India conducted nuclear tests in May, and they spoke positively of the need for “a new, broad-based relationship.” The two sides said they had discussed resuming bilateral military cooperation and had agreed to hold a meeting in March on controlling exports of sensitive technologies and to a ninth round of talks.
