INDIA: Australia likely to begin uranium sales
Updated
The sale of Australian uranium to India is one step closer to being approved. The National Security Committee has been deliberating on the Government's recommendation that exports go ahead - with a yes vote widely expected, despite India's refusal to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. The Australian government says it can negotiate a suitable safeguard agreement with New Delhi. Meanwhile India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is telling his parliament India wont be dictated to by foreigners over any plans to test nuclear weapons.
