In a significant announcement, the US has said that it will support India's full membership in the 45-member Nuclear Suppliers Group, NSG and three other multilateral export control regimes. In a statement last evening, Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economic Affairs Mike Froman said besides NSG, these are Missile Technology Control Regime, MTCR, the Australian Group and the Wassanaar Arrangement. These are groups of multilateral, dual use export control clubs. The Australia Group deals with chemical and biological weapons, and Wassenaar deals with conventional weapons and dual use technology in it. India's full membership in the four multilateral export control regimes will make it easier for New Delhi to get dual-use technology from member countries though it is subject to rules of individual nations. It will also provide India with a say in framing export control rules. The indication of the US' move came in visiting President Barack Obama's speech to the business community where he spoke about his plans to reform export controls.
