NaMo may still have the last laugh while Uncle Xi would be left squirming. The Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) is likely to meet again before the end of the year to discuss the process of allowing Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) signatories into the 48-nation grouping, providing another chance for India to press its claims. Further, Indianmandarins has learnt that the closed-door session of the NSG that ended its annual plenary in Seoul on Friday appointed Argentine Ambassador Rafael Grossi as the "Facilitator of the Chairperson to having informal consultations with the Participating Governments (PGs) in the group". Members reportedly agreed to the informal arrangement after a special session where several countries raised India's case, which went past midnight on Thursday and stretched into the next day's concluding session. Ambassador Grossi's appointment to assist the new Chairperson from Switzerland with the "continued discussion" on India is significant, as he is the outgoing Chairperson of the NSG, and was keenly involved in bringing India's bid to the NSG table this year.
