France to sign nuclear deal
Even as the India-U.S. nuclear deal is making its passage in the U.S. Congress, French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Sunday made clear his country’s intention to forge ahead with the civil nuclear cooperation with India. This will be sealed in an agreement he is signing with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Paris on Tuesday.
