India and the US are becoming partners in a global non-proliferation regime,

We look forward to the US Congress passing the legislation to enable full civil nuclear energy cooperation between the two countries early next year,

These matters should be resolved through discussions and not through confrontation.

I don't think we are soft- pedaling this issue or that.

India is a partner in global non-proliferation efforts rather than a target of these efforts,

a very useful instrument in bridging differences between the two countries.
