Mumbai, February 3: Indian negotiators and IAEA officials will meet shortly in Vienna to iron out the differences in readying the `agreed text' on India-specific safeguards which is crucial to operationalise the Indo-US nuclear deal.

So far, four rounds have taken place since November last for readying the text which has been stuck on certain wordings on the uninterrupted supply of fuel for civilian nuclear plants and on the corrective measures in the event of stoppage of fuel, sources said.

The `agreed text' was to be ready by the third round of talks during the first week of January this year but spilled over to the fourth round in mid-January but remained inconclusive because of the differences in wordings.

IAEA spokesperson from Vienna in a communication told PTI that "negotiations are continuing and the next meeting is expected shortly."

Indian officials said the stress was on appropriate wordings to satisfy the Agency on fuel supplies and corrective measures. Therefore, the negotiating team from India for the forthcoming meeting will include senior official Venkatesh Verma from the Ministry of External Affairs.

New Delhi is hopeful of completing the exercise for readying the `agreed text' during this round of talks so that it would provide enough time for the 35-member IAEA Board of Governors to study it for approval.
