India's bid to entrance into Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) is burning topic in international relations. As Indian PM is on USA trip and US has promised to support Indian claims for entrance into NSG. India already has got affirmative stance from Switzerland and Mexico for support in NSG entrance. Now question arises, Do all these diplomatic tricks are fruitful? and Is Indian entrance into NSG that important? Shouldn't India focus more on APEC entrance? Lets have some insight into it.
NSG- Nuclear suppliers group was created after India did nuclear experiment in 1974 to prevent nuclear proliferation by controlling the export of materials, equipment and technology that can be used to manufacture nuclear weapons. Isn't it ironical that USA is supporting India for inclusion into that same group which was created against it. Although US has done yes but consensus is required in this matter and China will never support. Even few other countries can be against India. And if somehow India gets entrance what could be outcome-
a) Indian prestige among international powers will increase.
b) India can stop Pakistan from entering into the NSG.
c) India (biggest contributor in UN peace forces) a peace angel can contribute in regulation of nuclear material.
But there are few question marks also on it.
a) Whoever joins NSG should be a signatory to Non proliferation treaty (NPT) which India unlikely to join.
b) China although a member of both NSG and NPT helping pakistan in establishing nuclear reactors undermining the regulations of NSG.
c) NSG itself has not been very effective in controlling proliferation of nuclear materials hence joining it not that fruitful for India as it is perceiving it.
Overall its a waste of time and energy to try for entrance into NSG. Over this India should invest its diplomatic moves for entrance into APEC (Asia-Pacific economic cooperation) group. Benefits to India on entering APEC--
--- Most of the APEC countries are good in economic growth and India can leverage in trade and commerce being in the group.
--- India belongs to the region as will be very active in engaging all the political and economic activities.
--- Indian presence in the group will be a check to the rising chinese influence in the region particular and South China Sea in specific.
Not only India but other countries will also have positive impacts of it...
--- An economically prosperous and regionally engaged India benefits the US' strategic goals on Asia.
--- Indian contemporary govt is trying to bring economic reforms to open Indian market (Make in India initiative) improve trade volume and facilitate its growing populations' need of employment. Hence will be immense opportunity for other member countries to invest in India.
--- Balance the power poles of the reason.
Hence India should focus more on APEC rather than NSG to get admission into.
