ANSWER: Missile Technology Control Regime
 
Marking the first entry into multilateral export control regime, India will join MTCR or Missile Technology Control Regime as a full member, three days following the NSG membership on account of stiff opposition from China and some other nations.
  • Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar will sign the document of accession into MTCR in the presence of French, Netherlands and Luxembourg ambassadors
  • China is not a member of the 34 nation NTCR
  • Following the civil nuclear deal with the US, India is being able to enter this export control regime
  • Other such regimes include Australia Group, Wassenaar Agreement and NSG
  • India’s aim to enter MTCR was boosted after agreement to join Hague Code of Conduct dealing with ballistic missile non proliferation arrangement.
