China says it made important contribution to N.S.G. outcome
Beijing, Sep 9 (PTI) Seeking to deflect criticism from India over its role at the Nuclear Suppliers Group (N.S.G.) meeting, China Tuesday said it had participated in the parleys in a "responsible and constructive manner" and made an important contribution to the final outcome of the discussion.
"The situation can't be more clear," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jiang Yu said.
The N.S.G. has reached a consensus to grant an waiver for nuclear commerce to India "thanks to the joint efforts of all parties," she said.
"China has taken part in the N.S.G. discussion in a responsible and constructive manner and has made contributions to the final progress of the discussion," Jiang said fending off criticism from New Delhi that Beijing attempted to sabotage the consensus at the meeting of the nuclear cartel.
This is the second time in as many days China issued a statement clarifying its role at the N.S.G. meeting.
The Foreign Ministry Monday said "China has been taking part in relevant meetings within the N.S.G. in a responsible and constructive manner". It welcomed the N.S.G. waiver but hoped this cooperation should be "conducive" to safeguarding the global nuclear non-proliferation efforts.
In Tuesday's briefing, the spokesperson said Chinese
Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, who on a visit to India, has
held talks with his Indian counterpart Pranab Mukherjee and
arrived at some notable agreements.
The two Ministers have agreed that the two governments
will "properly handle each other's concerns about bilateral
relations," the spokesperson said.
They have also agreed to keep up the momentum of
high-level exchanges between the two countries and expand
people-to-people exchanges particularly among the youth. Yang
agreed with Mukherjee on further deepening the friendship
between the two countries, she said.
The two governments were making preparations for holding
two cultural festivals showcasing India and China in each
other's countries in 2009 and 2010, Jiang said.
Referring to Yang's visit to Kolkata, she said the
Chinese Minister has opened a new consulate in the eastern
city to promote bilateral ties and friendly exchanges with
West Bengal in particular and India as a whole. PTI
