NEW DELHI — President
Barack Obama and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi say they have
achieved a breakthrough understanding to free up U.S. investment in
nuclear energy development in India.
The two countries had been at an impasse over U.S. insistence on tracking fissile material it supplies to India and over Indian liability provisions that have discouraged U.S. firms from capitalizing on a 2008 civil nuclear agreement between the U.S. and India.
Both
men said Obama's visit to India has been more than symbolic and yielded
substantive progress on trade, defense and climate issues.
The two men spoke jointly after a day of pomp and meetings. Obama arrived in the Indian capital Sunday.
