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.
