The United States has reaffirmed its support for India’s membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
At a White House meeting ahead of the Nuclear Security Summit beginning on Thursday, US National Security Advisor Susan Rice and her Indian counterpart, Ajit Doval, held discussions on key issues including US-India counterterrorism cooperation, particularly dealing with lashkar-e-Tayyeba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.
“Ambassador Rice and NSA Doval exchanged views on the terrorist threat posed by ISIl in the region and the importance of combatting the ideology that fuels such groups,” US National Security Council spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement.
The two NSAs also exchanged views on the prospects for commercial progress this year under US-India civil nuclear cooperation.
