US praises India's non-proliferation record
The US has commended India, which Thursday successfully tested its long-range nuclear-capable missile
Agni-V, for its "solid non-proliferation record" even as it cautioned all nuclear-capable states to exercise
restraint regarding nuclear capabilities. "Naturally, I just would say that we urge all nuclear-capable
states to exercise restraint regarding nuclear capabilities," State Department spokesman Mark Toner
told reporters Wednesday ahead of the test.
"That said, India has a solid non-proliferation record," he said when asked to comment on India's plans
to test its indigenous intercontinental ballistic missile Agni-V. "They're engaged with the international
community on non-proliferation issues. And Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh), I believe, has attended
both of the nuclear security summits, the one in Washington and then Seoul," Toner noted.
Asked if India had consulted Washington about the test, he said: "We've got a very strong strategic and
security partnership with India, so we obviously have routine discussions about a wide range of topics,
including their defense requirements." But "I'm not aware that we've specifically raised this issue with
them", he added.
Asked if his comments indicated US wouldn't have any specific concerns on India's test as a destabilizing
factor in the region, Toner said: "I think I'll just stay with the fact that we always caution all nuclearcapable
states to exercise restraint."
