印度俄國簽署協定 開展核能與太空合作
法新社╱蔣天清 2008-12-05 22:20
(法新社新德里5日電)在來訪的俄羅斯總統麥維德夫(Dmitry Medvedev)與印度領袖會面以強化雙邊關係之際,俄方今天與這個傳統盟友簽署劃時代協定,範圍涵蓋核子能與太空合作。
根據協定,雙方將在南方省份坦米爾那都(TamilNadu)古丹庫蘭(Kudankulam)地區興建四座核子反應爐。雙方另外也簽署協定,將合作發展載人太空飛行。
俄羅斯是全球第三個與印度簽署原子能協定的國家。「核子供應國集團」(Nuclear Suppliers Group)於九月撤消禁止與印度從事核子技術貿易的禁令。
美國和法國已和印度簽署類似協議。
莫斯科當局目前正在古丹庫蘭建造兩座1000百萬瓦的輕水反應爐。雙方並未公開新協定的金額。
官員表示,印俄也簽署協定,希望俄國能在2013年將印度太空人送上太空,並於2015年發射載人印度太空船。
此外,雙方也簽署出售80架軍用直昇機給印度的協定。
麥維德夫是印度孟買一週前發生回教好戰份子攻擊事件以來,首位到訪印度的國家元首。他也承諾,莫斯科當局將支持印度的反恐努力。

India, Russia sign nuclear energy, space deals
Fri Dec 5, 5:05 am ET
NEW DELHI (AFP) – India and Russia on Friday signed an agreement covering the building of four new nuclear energy reactors in southern India, as well as a cooperation accord on manned space flight.
Russia becomes the third country to sign an atomic energy agreement with India after a decision in September by the Nuclear Suppliers Group to waive its ban on trade of nuclear technology with India.
The United States and France are the other powers to have signed agreements with New Delhi.
The nuclear agreement covers the building of four atomic reactors at Kudankulam in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. The value of the deal was not given.
Moscow is already building two 1,000-megawatt light water reactors at the site.
The two sides also signed an accord that envisages Russia sending an Indian cosmonaut into space in 2013 and then launch a manned Indian spacecraft in 2015, officials said.
The signing ceremony, attended by reporters, coincided with a visit to New Delhi by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
