#India not seeking #NSG membership as ‘gift’, but based on non-proliferation record: MEA
Nearly two days after China had said that admission of non-NPT signatories in NSG cannot be a "farewell gift" for countries to give to each other, India on Thursday it’s not seeking NSG membership as a gift. Speaking to the media, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vikas Swarup clarified, "India is not seeking NSG membership as a gift. We are seeking it based on our non-proliferation record."
