Study the following paragraph and answer the five questions that follow:

India's new beginning in the post-Cold War period is largely attributed to the liberal economic order. The liberal security order, on the other hand, has welcomed India’s rise, unlike China, largely because India’s democratic credentials align well with liberal principles. President Clinton made a state visit to India within two years of imposing sanctions against India’s nuclear testing. The era witnessed reconciliation between the world’s oldest and largest democracies. The multi-sector cooperation and the Indo-US nuclear deal are some of the momentous diplomatic developments of the decade. The Bush administration perceived a strong democratic India as an important partner for the United States and encouraged India to play an increasingly important leadership role in 21st-century Asia. Inclusion of India in decision-making on global governance, upgraded representation in trade and investment forums, admission into multilateral export control regimes (MTCR), and support for admission into the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) are indicative of a growing partnership and of friendly relations between the US and India.

What is the full form of NSG?

The correct answer is

Nuclear Suppliers Group

**NSG stands for Nuclear Suppliers Group**. It is a **multinational body that controls nuclear trade** and prevents the proliferation of nuclear weapons by regulating the export of nuclear technology and materials.

Incorrect options: (a) Nuclear Seller Group is incorrect as NSG is about regulation, not selling. (b) & (d) Network Seller Group and Network Supplier Group are incorrect terms.
