NEW DELHI (AFP) Oct 11, 2004
India and the United States Monday began talks on deepening cooperation in nuclear and strategic areas, less than a month after Washington lifted sanctions it had imposed on Indian facilities in 1998, officials said.
US Under Secretary of State for Commerce Kenneth Juster was holding talks with Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran and would later meet National Security Adviser J. N. Dixit, Indian and US officials said.
Juster would also meet India's Commerce Secretary S.N. Menon during his two-day visit, the officials said.
The aim of the talks is to find ways to improve ties in the high-tech trade, defence and civilian nuclear sectors and in space programmes, an Indian official said.
