美国和印度就军售和建造美国资助的核电厂达成协议。正在印度访问的美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿同印度外长克里希纳在新德里举行的一次联合记者会上宣布了这项协议。
协议包括授权美国公司独家向印度两个核电厂出售核反应堆以及最终使用监测，以确保美国向印度出售的尖端武器技术不会泄露给其它国家。这项协议将增加美国对印度的军售。
早些时候，克林顿在印度首都新德里与印度总理辛格举行了会谈。
布什政府期间美国同印度签署了一项突破性的协议，允许美国30年来首次向印度出售民用核技术。作为交换，印度将允许联合国核查人员检查印度的一些民用核设施。
The United States and India have agreements on arms sales and the building of U.S. funded nuclear plants. Visiting U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and India’s Foreign Minister, S.M. Krishna announced the pacts during a joint news conference in New Delhi.
One agreement gives U.S. companies exclusive rights to sell civilian nuclear reactors to two sites in India. The other – known as end-use monitoring – ensures that highly sophisticated arms technology sold to India is not leaked to other countries. That agreement is expected to lead to a boost in U.S. arms sales to India.
Earlier Monday, Secretary Clinton met with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the capital, New Delhi.
Monday’s agreements follow up on a groundbreaking Bush administration deal between the United States and India that allows the sale of civilian nuclear technology to India for the first time in three decades. In return, India will grant U.N. inspectors access to some of its civilian nuclear facilities.
