During Argentine President Mauricio Macri‘s state visit to Delhi from February 17 to 19, India and Argentina agreed to boost cooperation in the nuclear energy sector with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding by India’s Global Center for Nuclear Energy Partnership and Argentina’s National Atomic Energy Commission.
According to a joint statement issued by India’s Ministry of External Affairs, the two countries hope to “enhance and explore cooperative ventures” in civilian nuclear power; other societal uses of nuclear energy in the health, agriculture sectors and for industrial applications; and training. They also noted that the MoU would “bolster institutional linkages” in civilian nuclear R&D and capacity building.
India expressed gratitude for the active role Argentina played for India’s membership to the Nuclear Suppliers Group.
