On Board the PM's Special Aircraft: Notwithstanding the current uncertainty surrounding the atomic cooperation with the US, India today made it clear that it will seek full integration with the global nuclear mainstream and there was no timeframe for reaching the safeguards agreement with IAEA.

Without mentioning the Indo-US nuclear deal, Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma said, in an apparent message to the Left parties, that isolation from global nuclear mainstream was going to hurt.

"India will continue to seek full integration with global (nuclear) mainstream," he told journalists on board the PM's special aircraft on way to Johannesburg from Nigeria.

Sharma said he would not comment on the statement made yesterday after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's tele-conversation with US President George Bush. The statement mentioned that Singh had told Bush that certain difficulties had arisen in operationalisation of the deal.
