China indicates blocking India's Nuclear Suppliers Group bid again

Beijing: China has recently indicated that it could again block India's plea for membership bid for the Nuclear Suppliers Group.

The country on Monday stated that it has still not changed its position on India's membership bid for the NSG, indicating it will again block New Delhi's plea at the plenary session in Bern next month.

"China's position on the Non-Proliferation Treaty member's participation in the NSG has not changed," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said.

"We support the NSG group following the mandate of the 2016 plenary session and following building consensus as well as the intergovernmental process that is open and transparent to deal with the relevant issues in a two-step approach, she added.

It is worth mentioning that China has repeatedly blocked India's bid to enter the elite grouping, which regulates the world's nuclear trade.
