US assures Delhi of push for nuke deal
US President George W Bush spoke to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over telephone and assured New Delhi that Washington was committed to pushing through the civilian nuclear deal in the next session of the Senate.
During the ten-minute conversation, the two leaders also exchanged notes on North Korea's nuclear test and sanctions as part of an exercise to firm up a consensus on how to persuade Pyongyang to halt its nuclear programme.
Bush and Singh discussed the future of Indo-US nuclear deal, which was reached by the two leaders on July 18, 2005, but could not be taken up for vote by the US Senate during its session last month ahead of the November 7 congressional elections.
