Now, the officials from both countries would sit and discuss the matter in South Africa.

The meeting is expected during the sidelines of the Nuclear Suppliers Group plenary meeting that has been begun in Cape Town from today. During the meet, both countries would try to sort out differences on nuclear agreement. India has showed some differences over the text of the 123 bilateral nuclear cooperation agreement.

According to US Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade Franklin Lavin, India and US both have responded in good faith. He said that this is not fact India is showing it’s unwilling on the nuclear deal.
