New Delhi. The impact of the friendship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump has also started appearing on the bilateral relations of India and America. About 20 years ago, former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and former President George Bush had dreamed together, now he has reached a new place in the Modi-Trump era. India and the US have taken a big step in the field of civil prince after two decades. The US Energy Department (DOE) has given a final approval to an American company to jointly design and manufacture the Nuclear Energy Reactor in India. The Indo-US Civil Nuclear Deal was signed in 2007 by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the then US President George W. Bush, but it took nearly 20 years to get the green signal to implement the plans.
Let us know that till now American companies could export nuclear reactors and equipment to India under the Indo-US Civil Nuclear Agreement, but they were forbidden to design or build nuclear reactors in India. On the other hand, India was adamant that every work should be done in India from design, construction and technology transfer. Government kept coming and going, but India remained the same. After many years, the US has agreed on the conditions set by New Delhi. American and Indian companies will now jointly manufacture small modular reactors or SMRs. Companies of both countries will also produce the equipment related to it. In terms of diplomacy, it is being described as a big safala of India.
Manmohan Singh government was at stake
India and America, led by former Prime Minister Mamanmoh Singh, were determined to move forward in the field of Civil Nuclear. At that time, Manmohan Singh's government was running from the alliance, in which the leftist parties had an important contribution. The Left Party strongly opposed the moving forward with the US on the civil nuclear deal. Along with this, there was a threat to withdraw support from the government, but former PM Manmohan Singh remained adamant on his decision. The result was that the left party withdrew support from the government. However, with the cooperation of other parties, the Manmohan government remained stable and continued. On the other hand, the Civil Nuclear Deal between Indo-US was also signed in 2007 on behalf of the two countries. In this way, the journey started from 2005 was brought to a result. Now the Modi government has given him a new height.
