China National Nuclear Cooperation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe reviewed the progress in bilateral ties, including important projects, during their meeting - eight months after the two nations inked a landmark civil nuclear cooperation pact.

China is developing the world's smallest nuclear power plant which could be installed in one of the islands in the disputed South China Sea to supply power to households and is capable of running for up to decades without refuelling, a media report said on Tuesday.

US President Barack Obama and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang agreed on Monday to step up cooperation in the United Nations Security Council and in law-enforcement channels after North Korea's fifth nuclear test, the White House said.

Hailing India for keeping a "neutral stand" over the South China Sea despite pressure from the US and Japan, state-run Chinese media today said there are some contradictions and frictions between the two nations, but the overall bilateral relations have been developing smoothly.

Defending its nuclear cooperation with its close ally Pakistan, China today claimed that its supply of reactors to Islamabad were in accordance with the principles of Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and under the supervision of United Nation's nuclear watchdog.

Expressing concern over latest reports suggesting that China supplied nuclear weapons technology and design to Pakistan, two influential US lawmakers have written a letter to the Obama administration, seeking to know what has been done to halt such cooperation which represents a threat to the national security of America and its allies.

Iran's new envoy to the UN nuclear agency said he would cooperate with it to "overcome existing issues once and for all", potentially signalling a more flexible approach from Tehran's new administration.
