New Delhi: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Friday signed agreements to build more nuclear reactors at India's Kudankulam nuclear power plant, the Indian government said in a statement.
The deal comes after India signed earlier this year a nuclear pact with the United States, giving New Delhi access to civilian nuclear fuel and technology.
"The signing of the agreement on civil nuclear cooperation with Russia marks a new milestone in the history of our cooperation with Russia in the field of nuclear energy," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said at a news conference with Medvedev in New Delhi.
"The cooperation in the energy sector remains a priority for us," Medvedev said. "We are very interested in developing cooperation in the nuclear sector. It is especially important now that various energy sectors are being developed."
