Former US envoy to India backs N-deal</b>
New York (PTI): Backing the Indo-US nuclear deal, ex-American ambassador to India Frank G Wisner has, nevertheless, said that even if the pact does not go through, it is bound to come up later in some other form between the two countries in the context of energy cooperation.
Wisner, who was the American envoy to New Delhi from 1994 to 1997, said the future of the deal was uncertain, but he was not worried by it as the bilateral ties covered a much wider canvas, including cooperation in military and technological fields.
Stressing on the importance of the deal going through during the few remaining months of the Bush administration's term, he said the new government which takes over in January next would take its own time to study the deal.
