Japan
is
considering resuming talks with
India
on
bilateral cooperation in nuclear energy development, the top government
spokesman said Monday, Kyodo News reported.
"We have judged it sensible to negotiate an accord with
India
on
nuclear cooperation," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told
reporters.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is expected to promote Japanese exports of nuclear
power plants to
India
under
such an accord, when he meets with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on May 29 in
Tokyo
,
sources close to the matter said.
The move comes despite widespread concerns over safety of nuclear power
generation following the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex,
triggered by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northeastern
Japan
.
Nuclear cooperation talks between the two countries, launched in 2010, have
been suspended since the nuclear disaster.
Earlier this month,
Japan
concluded similar nuclear accords with the
United
Arab Emirates
and
Turkey
during Mr. Abe's visits there.
