The United Nations nuclear agency has welcomed the Indo-US pact saying that the agreement would enhance nuclear energy cooperation, nonproliferation, and security. International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] Director-General Muhammad al-Baradi'i said in a statement that out of the box thinking and active participation by all members of the international community are important, if we are to advance nuclear arms control, nonproliferation safety, and security. He said this would also help tackle new threats such as illicit trafficking in sensitive nuclear technology and the risks of nuclear terrorism.
India is to voluntarily identify the nuclear civilian facilities to be placed under IAEA safeguards and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has made it clear that it would be done in a way that the country's security interests are not compromised.
