EU not to isolate India
Ministers of the European Union have stated they have no intention of isolating India but said strong economic sanctions may still be imposed. The move has been taken to encourage India to sign treaties on nuclear non-proliferation and banning further testing, said British Development Minister Clare Short. Although the European Union has not given a joint official position over India’s blasts, trade restrictions are a sign of concern over India’s move. The ministers pointed out they were against restrictions on foreign aid.
