今日のテキスト JAPAN, INDIA INK NUCLEAR DEAL

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has struck a nuclear energy deal with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi. The agreement will allow Japan to export its technology to India.
The two leaders met in Tokyo on Friday. It took six years for the two sides to narrow their differences. The pact is crucial for India. The rapidly growing economy is suffering from a serious power shortage.
Modi wants Japan's support in building and running nuclear plants, but Japan had to clear one hurdle over India's nuclear arms program. New Delhi has conducted nuclear tests and has yet to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The deal stipulates that the trade is only for peaceful purposes, and it includes a provision on halting the cooperation. Another document confirms that Japan can stop the trade if India runs counter to its own 2008 announcement of freezing nuclear tests.
