After the NSG cleared the Indo-US N-deal on Saturday in Vienna, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, "Now the real work had to be done back home in the US Congress. I don't think a lot of people thought we'd be able to get this through the NSG this weekend."
Rice said she had made a lot of calls to help win approval.
The UK also came out in full support of the Indo-US nuclear deal. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said, "The result represents a gain for the non-proliferation regime by bringing India further into the broader non-proliferation framework, a framework the UK firmly supports."
China which was against the waiver reacted by saying that it is China's hope that the NSG would equally address the aspirations of all parties for the peaceful use of nuclear power. Apparently, alluding to Pakistan's repeated attempts to get a similar deal with the US.
