India, US set to resolve n-deal problems in two weeks: PM

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said India and the US have agreed on "early and full implementation" of the civil nuclear cooperation agreement and the problems on the deal may be resolved within two weeks.

"There are no insurmountable problems in sorting out the deal," Singh told reporters here.

"I have been assured by the US leaders that America remains committed to the early implementation of civil nuclear deal. There are minor problems regarding reprocessing of fuel in the 123 agreement," he said a day after he held wide-ranging talks with US President Barack Obama.

In his opening statement at the press meet, he described his four-day trip, the first state visit of Obama Administration, as "very productive".

"Based on my discussions with President Obama and other American leaders, I am confident that we can not only continue but also strengthen the momentum of our relations built up in the last few years," he said.

"We agreed on the early and full implementation of our civil nuclear cooperation agreement. This paves the way for transfers of high technology items to India," Singh said.
