BEIJING (PTI) – China has said that U.S. and India should address concerns of the international community on their bilateral civilian nuclear energy cooperation deal.
As to the cooperation between the United States and India on the nuclear deal, relevant countries can cooperate on the peaceful use of nuclear energy, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Liu Jianchao said.
“We also believe that the arrangement and discussions (between the U.S. and India) should take into consideration the concerns of the international community,” Liu said when asked to comment on the visit to India by Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Mohamed ElBaradei, for talks with the Indian officials.
“We hope that relevant parties can find a way out to exercise wisdom so as to find a solution to this issue,” Liu added.
In the past, China had said that it believes that all countries can carry out cooperation on the peaceful use of nuclear energy under the precondition of abiding by the international obligations.
“The relevant cooperation should be conducive to maintaining and strengthening the principles and validity of the international non-proliferation mechanism,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said last month, adding that Beijing would participate in the discussions on the relevant issues under this principle.
