The 45 members of the Nuclear Suppliers Group have approved a US proposal to lift a ban on nuclear trade with India.

The ban, which was instituted 34 years ago after India tested its first nuclear device, was lifted at the meeting in Vienna.

A number of countries were reluctant to vote for the proposal, which permits a US deal to sell nuclear energy technology to India.

But India agreed to a commitment for a voluntary moratorium on nuclear testing.
