New Delhi: Russia has indicated its willingness to back US amendments to Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) guidelines.
Russian foreign ministry expert from the Department Of Security and Disarmament, Alexander Shilin, said at a seminar on Tuesday that they were upholding the idea of enlarging civilian nuclear cooperation with India.
The United States of America has suggested three variants of amendments to the NSG?s initial elements.
?These amendments will be considered by Russia and other NSG member countries shortly,? said Shilin said at the seminar organised by PIR centre, a Moscow-based research and public education organisation.
On the eve of his India visit last week, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov said that the NSG guidelines need to be amended so as to meet India's energy needs.
