Sale of Canadian Uranium to India Denounced by International Experts at the World Uranium Symposium

Quebec, 15 April 1015 – About 200 international experts and delegates of the World Uranium Symposium this morning denounced the sale of Canadian uranium to India, a country that maintains an arsenal of nuclear weapons and has never signed the United Nations’ Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). By signing such a deal on the eve of the NPT review conference to be held in New York City in two week’s time Canada is undermining and discrediting the key international treaty prohibiting the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
