Australia will retain a ban on uranium exports to India even after supplier nations decided to end a 34-year embargo on sales to the South Asian country, the Australian reported, citing Trade Minister Simon Crean.

The 45 states in the Nuclear Suppliers Group on Sept. 6 endorsed a waiver of its rules for India, which refuses to sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the newspaper said. Australia will continue to ban yellowcake sales to India as long as it refuses to sign the treaty, it said, citing Crean.
