Vienna, Sept 6 (ANI): The 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) has agreed to grant India a "clean waiver" here today.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had a meeting with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and National Security Advisor Shicshankar Menon in New Delhi after two days of talks failed to break a deadlock in the NSG over granting a clean waiver to India.
On Friday, Pranab Mukherjee had issued fresh statement on India's commitment to non-proliferation.
