NEW DELHI, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda is to visit India next week with nuclear energy issues reportedly on the agenda.
Noda is to meet with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the Sixth Annual Summit between Japanese and Indian leaders.
Unidentified Indian diplomatic sources stated that New Delhi believes that Noda will voice concerns over the safety of Indian nuclear power plants during his visit, The Pioneer newspaper reported Friday.
"Safety of nuclear installations assumes maximum importance after the nuclear accident in Japan and it would be taken up," a source said. "The talks about enhancing the nuclear cooperation between the two countries would form the part of discussions between the two leaders."
Japan's ruling Democratic Party is promoting nuclear technology exports as a pillar of its economic growth strategy. Nine months after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident Japan is reviving policies that it hopes will lead to exports of commercial nuclear technology to counties like India and Vietnam even as Japan scales back the domestic use of nuclear energy.
