The two leaders did not announce any plans to push ahead with the deal but used their meeting to hail the growing strength of their bilateral relationship. (article 6)
The International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) approval of the plan is a key condition for putting into effect a nuclear deal between India and US. (article 8)
Reports say a restricted draft of India's plans for safeguarding nuclear facilities has been given to IAEA's 35 member nations ahead of a meeting to approve the agreement (article 8)
The government says the deal is needed to meet soaring energy demands, but the communists say it could give the US too much influence over India. (article 2)
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and US President George Bush have discussed a nuclear deal which has been stalled for the past three years. (article 1)
His Congress Party-led coalition government has been beleaguered by a difficult political choice: going through with the nuclear deal would mean losing the vital support of its Communist allies and in turn its majority in Parliament. (article 4)
