China has denied that it was blocking India's bid for a membership in elite Nuclear Suppliers Groupor NSG and said it will "work" with the members of the 48-nation grouping as well as India to find a solution for India's entry into it. Liu Zhenmin who is China's Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs said,
"There is no true in it. I think this NSG membership is not a new issue. It has always been a issue for many years. This should be sorted out together with members of NPT. Members of the Nuclear Suppliers Group should be party to NPT. So, I think China will also work with others including Indian colleagues together to find a solution.
Also this has to be consulted among the relevant members, China is a very friendly nation. We always prefer to have cooperation with India at International areana on all issues."
He also said that not just China but also other NSG members are in a view that NPT is safeguarding international nuclear non-proliferation regime. But contrary, China earlier said about its view on signing Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) was important !
