India's nuclear accord with Canada

Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources Joe Oliver and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Lynne Yelich in Ottawa announced that the India-Canada civil nuclear cooperation agreement has come into force.

India and Canada had signed the civil nuclear accord in June 2010 during Prime Minister's visit to Canada. After India conducted the nuclear test at Pokhran in 1974, the relationship between the two countries had taken a nosedive in the field of nuclear cooperation.
Now  two countries have signed the Appropriate Arrangement pursuant to the India-Canada nuclear cooperation agreement on April 8, 2013.
The civil nuclear accord and the supporting Appropriate Arrangement will permit Canadian companies to export nuclear wares to India.
