Expanding civil nuclear cooperation tops PM’s Russian agenda

New Delhi, Dec 5: Close on the heels of his visit to Washington, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh heads for Moscow on Sunday on a three-day trip with expansion of civil nuclear cooperation and an extended defence pact topping the agenda.

The agreement, expected to be inked during the annual summit talks between Manmohan Singh and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday, will ensure continuation of Moscow’s support for the ongoing civil nuclear programme in India and will ensure any unforeseen disruption of fuel supply and technology from Russia for nuclear power projects in India.
