The next logical step for South Korea is to ask India for a nuclear park site. “We have not yet reached that stage. They are yet to ask us for a site, though Kepco and the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for cooperation. The South Korean Foreign Minister will come in the second half of this year. There could be talks on this aspect too,” the sources said.

Days after having inked a civil nuclear agreement with South Korea, India will reopen the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) to make it more contemporary and further strengthen trade ties with the East Asian tiger.
