“Universal adherence to the NPT itself, including by India, Israel, Pakistan and North Korea … remains a fundamental objective of the United States,” said Assistant Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller.
She later praised “India’s willingness to proceed with a fissile material cutoff treaty, in cooperation with the United States, and willingness also to pursue the comprehensive test ban treaty, as well as other lesser but important measures, such as improving its export controls.”
“India is coming closer to the non-proliferation regime and that too is an important goal of US policy,” Gottemoeller added.
