India pledged Friday not to engage in a new arms race as talks continue in Vienna over whether to let the United States sell India nuclear material and technology for civilian use.
It remained unclear whether the United States would win its push to get a waiver on a nuclear trade ban.
More than a dozen nations have balked at the deal, pointing out that India has conducted atomic test blasts and has refused to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
In India, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said his country remains committed to a voluntary moratorium on nuclear testing. He said India would not touch off a new arms race or share any sensitive nuclear technology with others.
Friday's talks in Vienna are being held by the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group.
