Kolkata, February 19 Union Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma met Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Tuesday and discussed with him, among other things, the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal.

Sharma briefed the media about his meeting with the chief minister that lasted for an hour and a half. “We talked about so many things, the general situation in the world, our relations with our neighbouring countries, food security, energy security, climate change, and of course, if you talk of energy security, the nuclear deal will definitely factor in,” Sharma said.

He said India was keen on nuclear energy. “It is the cleanest energy and the whole world is trying to access it. We are also trying to get it,” the minister said. Asked if he requested for the chief minister’s support for getting the Left to support the deal, the minister said it was being worked out at the highest level. “On this issue, the UPA government and the Left have different perspectives. It’s being discussed at the highest level of our leaderships,” the minister, who came to Kolkata to attend a seminar organised by the consular corps of Kolkata, said.
