Come and get our uranium, Ambassador tells India

[Yeti]

Indian media quote Zambia’s ambassador to India Allan D Kalebuku today saying that his country has deposits of uranium, oil and gas to satisfy India’s energy needs.

The ambassador said surveys have shown that there are substantial uranium, oil and gas deposits in Zambia which India could explore and extract for its energy requirement.

Speaking at an interactive session in the Merchants’ Chamber of Commerce, he, however, said both countries needed to have an extensive dialogue for the extraction of uranium for the sensitive nature of it.

India does not have sufficient uranium deposit and has to depend on import to meet its civil nuclear energy requirement.

Kalebuka said the country also required investment in tourism, fertiliser, cement, telecom and pharma.

The bilateral trade between the two countries has dropped to $ 190 million in 2009-10 from $ 207 million in 2007-08.

@SkyWalker.. I agree somewhat... It is not about the west, but also how much the ambassador's words hold weight in Zambian politics. I am sure their people won't be happy when they see such an open invitation to India. It would be better if the Zambian companies seek technical collaboration with the Indian companies which would mean a win-win for people of both countries.

A deal between 2 sovereign nations is nothing to do with the west or US they have no sway to disrupt our business. We have already signed such a deal with another african country Namibia.

Iran Pakistan pipeline is still going ahead 'according' to Pakistan and Iran sources an agreement has been signed but recent wikileads has this to say regarding it:


Despite Iran and Pakistan signing on an ambitious gas pipeline deal with its possible extension to India, the multi-billion project is unlikely to take off, according to the text of an American diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks. A source, whose name has been removed, in the cable confided to the US diplomat in a private conversation on June 4, 2009 that he viewed near-term implementation of the Iranian-Pakistani gas link project as "very unlikely", the cable said.

The downbeat comment by the was made despite the recent signing in Istanbul by President Ahmadinejad and President Zardari of an Iranian-Pakistani MoU committing to the gas project," it said. "According to this source, indicated that he had several reasons for this opinion, but the only one he elaborated was that "the Pakistanis don't have the money to pay for either the pipeline, or the gas," the cable said.

nuclear deal has to be accepted by NPT thats why China can say yes to sell nuclear reactors to Pakistan but it has to go past NPT treaty first!
