India is poised today to enter a new phase in its foreign policy. We aspire to be a permanent member of the Security Council. We are demonstrating a growing capability to shoulder regional and global responsibilities.
Both countries are deeply committed to implementing this very important understanding. The issues are complex, but we are confident that the deal will be implemented soon.
In seeking clarity on such clandestine activities, the international community must focus not merely on recipient states but on supplier states as well; otherwise our global non-proliferation effort would be undermined by charges of motivated selectivity and discrimination.
We cannot sit out the debates on the big issues of our times. Our interests demand a vigorous and articulate diplomatic effort that explains our position and advances our interests.
In considering its approach towards the resumption of full civil nuclear energy cooperation with India, the international community has to ask itself whether India is a partner or a target for the global non-proliferation regime.

We are already conforming to and becoming a partner in the global non-proliferation regime.
India and the US are becoming partners in a global non-proliferation regime.
