    China insists NPT signing for joining NSG

    China insists NPT signing for joining NSG
  • China claims to have the support of many nations which do not want Non-NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) signatories including India to join the coveted Nuclear Supplier Group (NSG).

    China wants new nations joining NSG to first sign the NPT agreement for safeguarding the international nuclear non-proliferation regime.

    India is not a signatory to NPT but wants to become a member of NSG.

    The NPT hurdle

    The NPT hurdle
    Credits:
  • The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is an international treaty that came into force in 1970.

    India, Pakistan, Israel, and South Sudan are only 4 UN nations that have not signed the NPT.

    NPT nations want India to join NPT as a non-nuclear-weapon state and place all nuclear facilities under IAEA's (International Atomic Energy Agency) watch which India resists as discriminatory because it perpetuates "haves/have-nots" divide.

    How will NSG membership help India?

    How will NSG membership help India?
  • India, a Uranium deficient nation, would be able to import Uranium more freely to feed its nuclear reactors. This is important because India is eyeing nuclear energy as a potential source to solve its energy needs.

    Further, it will allow India to obtain state-of-the-art nuclear technologies with enhanced safety features.

    It will also open up opportunities for Indian industries to tap global markets.
