US embassy cable - 05NEWDELHI9335

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: PM SINGH AFFIRMS INDIAN NUCLEAR SEPARATION PLAN AT 
ADVANCED STAGE 
 
 
1. Speaking to the press December 11 while en route to Kuala 
Lumpur for the East Asian Summit, Indian PM Singh told 
journalists India is working quickly to meet commitments it 
made in the July 18, 2005 nuclear agreement with the United 
States.  Specifically, the PM said plans for separating 
India's civilian and military nuclear facilities were at a 
"fairly advanced stage." 
 
2. COMMENT:  The Indians have been telling us they are 
working on a separation plan.  We expect Foreign Secretary 
Shyam Saran may preview that plan to Washington officials 
when he visits December 20-21. We will continue to seek 
clarification on the contours of the plan, but the PM's 
statement comes as welcome evidence of forward progress 
within the Indian bureaucracy to make the July 18 civilian 
nuclear energy agreement a reality.  END COMMENT.
