India and Canada will jointly host a workshop on nuclear security later this month for which 15 other countries and persons from the International Atomic Energy Agency have been invited.
This is the first time that India is collaborating and cooperating with another country to host a workshop on nuclear security, a spokesman of the Ministry of External Affairs said on Tuesday.
The idea of holding of the workshop in India came up at discussions between John Baird, the visiting Canadian Foreign Minister, and Sushma Swaraj, External Affairs Minister, during the ‘Strategic dialogue between India and Canada’ which was held here on Tuesday.
Briefing newspersons on the Dialogue, the spokesman said one of the major areas of discussion was energy adding that there were also talks relating to possibilities of research and development on nuclear power plants. The possibility of such cooperation is being explored as India plans to have reactors for about 750 MW each which is what the Canadians are also working on with similar technologies.
