Nuke move on India may prove conducive

China hopes the waiver of nuclear trade ban against India would be conducive to global cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy and non-proliferation.

"China has always advocated that all countries are entitled to the peaceful use of nuclear energy," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said yesterday.

"But, at the same time, international cooperation should help maintain the integrity and validity of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime," she said.
