France, not sure about Pakistan's nuclear deterrent, has decided against supplying nuclear energy technology to it, according to a secret United States diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks.
Backing India's evidence on Mumbai attacks as 'totally credible', France on Saturday asked Pakistan to extend full cooperation to ensure that those behind the carnage are punished in the 'most severe way'.At the same time, the influential European nation advocated that India and Pakistan should resume composite dialogue at an appropriate time as 'they have to live side by side'.
The French move assumes significance as it comes close on the heels of conclusion of Indo-US civilian nuclear deal.
