China yet to decide India's entry into NSG

New Delhi: China on Wednesday said it is yet to form a position on the accession of any specific non-NPT country into the NSG, as it parried questions on whether its “two-step formula” for allowing new members into the elite nuclear club was aimed at pushing Pakistan’s case along with that of India.

India and China are “yet to agree on accession of any specific member into the group”, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying told mediapersons in the capital, referring to yesterday’s first round of talks between the two countries on India’s admission into the 48-member Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), which controls global nuclear commerce.
