India Gets Entry to MTCR; Inches Closer to NSG Membership Tuesday June 07,2016

The members of the Missile Technology Control Regime, a key anti-proliferation grouping, have agreed to admit India, diplomats said, in a win for Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he meets President Barack Obama in Washington on Tuesday June 07,2016

The deadline for members of the 34-nation group to object to India's admission had expired on Monday June 06,2016 without any of them raising objections.
Under this so-called 'silent procedure', India's admission follows automatically

India will become the 35th member of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) this week

Admission to the MTCR would open the way for India to buy high-end missile technology, also making more realistic its aspiration to buy state-of-the-art surveillance drones such as the US Predator, made by General Atomics.
