Now, opposition from Japan blocks India-U.S. deal

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Sources have told The Hindu that lack of movement in the Indo-Japanese civilian nuclear deal may also stall the India-U.S. deal.
Even as Indian and U.S. officials try to finalise “administrative arrangements” for the civilian nuclear deal, they have run into opposition from Japan. Sources have toldThe Hinduthat lack of movement in the Indo-Japanese civilian nuclear deal may also stall the India-U.S. deal.

Significantly, while the issue of ‘liability’ has been resolved, according to U.S. and Indian government officials, the major opposition from Japan is over the issue of ‘tracking.’ As a result, even though U.S. President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Narendra Modi were able to announce a “breakthrough agreement” on January 25 this year, the administrative arrangements are yet to be signed, and nuclear business seems a long way off.

The problems may be addressed on the sidelines of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar’s visit to Japan next week, while Mr. Modi is expected to use his visits to France and Canada next month to firm up nuclear commerce with those countries as a signal that India’s nuclear energy plans are not bound by the U.S. deal alone.

According to Japanese officials, the deadlock between India and Japan is over two issues.

India tried to backstab Japan just like they backstabbed Russia with the engine fan blade. Now they are caught red-handed by Japan and USA.

In this day and age, only insane regimes like NK would test a Nuke. This seems like a non-issue.

Then again, this is a nuclear deal, probably a lot of details are not known.

Coming to NK, I just feel much better to have Pakistan as our neighbor.

I am really unhappy at Japan for holding up India's nuclear deal.
On one hand Japan claims to be India's unconditional friend and on other they don't support India where it can not do without Japan's support.

Japan even under-invests in India as compared to Sri Lanka or Bangladesh if you calculate investment on per capita basis.

What is holding India-Japan relations back ?
I find them to be more bark than bite most times.

India should sign the treaty not to test nukes. This would not be an issue. India need to follow the law.

The law? Who's law?

CTBT and NPT are treaties, not laws. Unless we voluntarily sign the treaty, we are not bound by the treaty. There is no "law" that one should sign a treaty. By definition, a treaty is an agreement.

Well any country that doesn't have nukes and wants to develop nukes, will have to test nukes. Of course, that doesn't apply to India.

This is a rumor!!!
Japan has nothing to do with our nuclear deal with US.
Meanwhile India and Japan nuclear cooperation is continuing as per the direction of Modi and Abe.
India, US move forward on implementation of nuclear deal - The Economic Times

Rejecting reports that Japan was opposing the implementation of the Indo-US nuclear deal on fuel tracking issue, the Spokesperson said, "There is no truth in this assertion... Any purported link therefore between India's AA with the US and India's negotiations with Japan is pure speculation."
