New Delhi, Sep 15 (UNI) Amid China continuing its rigid position on India's bid for membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, New Delhi today expected Beijing to show mutual sensitivity and strategic maturity. A day after India and China held a dialogue on the issue of NSG membership, the Chinese foreign ministry came out with a statement, insisting that Beijing was yet to firm up its position on New Delhi's entry into NSG and it continues to adopt "the two step process" in the matter. When asked about China's position, MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup said in his weekly media briefing that the two sides have had a substantive and pragmatic exchange on the issue of NSG membership, which is a priority for India going by its plans for civil nuclear energy. "On certain issues such as development and clean energy, there should not be differences between our two sides. The two sides are agreed that we should approach these issues with mutual sensitivity to each others’ concerns and priorities," he said. Mr Swarup said the exchange was useful in enhancing understanding of each other’s perspective and will be continued. The two sides were also of the view that a process has been set in motion after the Seoul NSG plenary on the issue of membership and they should support this process. "This can demonstrate to the whole world that India and China approach such issues with strategic maturity and are working together to narrow and resolve any difference of view," he said.
