India and Russia say that the supply of nuclear fuel does not violate
the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) guidelines, which
allow fuel transfer in the interest of safety.
The Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov is visiting
India with a strong business delegation and head of
Russian Federal Atomic Agency. Apart from the supply
of nuclear fuel deal, India and Russia will discuss
space, energy, and nuclear co-operation. Another major
area of discussions will center on business and trade
expansion. Traditionally, Indo-Russian trade has been
around defense purchases. While this trend will
continue, the two countries are looking to expand
beyond those areas of trade development.
