Calling India "a responsible state with advanced nuclear technology," the Bush Administration this week agreed to share U.S. civil nuclear technology with its ally despite India's refusal to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

A Washington visit by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also produced a protocol on the contentious issue of intellectual property rights for joint research projects. Export controls between the nations will also be scaled back, agricultural projects boosted, and joint space projects tackled. The United States will endorse India's participation in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project in France. The agreements require congressional approval.
