Vienna, July 18: Lobbying for the Indo-US nuclear deal, India on Friday briefed the IAEA Board of Governors and some NSG countries on the safeguards agreement amid reports that there was no sign of opposition to the accord. After discussing the text of the India-specific safeguards accord with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohamed ElBaradei, Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon told representatives of the 54 countries that the text was a good one. Among the 35 members of the IAEA Board of Governors, 26 are also part of Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). The remaining 19 NSG countries were also invited for the special briefing held at a venue outside the premises of the IAEA secretariat in the run-up to the IAEA Board's scheduled meeting in Vienna on August 1. Approval of the India-specific safeguards agreement by the IAEA Board is an important step in the operationalisation of the n-deal. The briefing significantly coincided with the third anniversary of the July 18, 2005 India-US civil nuclear understanding. Menon is understood to have allayed apprehensions about the fallout of the pact on the nuclear non-proliferation regime. At the briefing, Menon is understood to have highlighted the importance of the Indo-US nuclear deal initiative while citing the country's impeccable track record on non-proliferation front despite not being a signatory to NPT. ElBaradei, a strong advocate of the deal, also met US Under Secretary of State William Burns for talks on the nuke accord. Burns, the third ranking US diplomat, was despatched by the Bush administration for "consultations' on the nuke pact in an attempt to push the deal.
