 Britain and India have agreed the text of a deal on civil nuclear cooperation, ministers from both countries announced after talks in London on Thursday.

"The two sides have discussed and negotiated a civil nuclear energy cooperation agreement and we hope that will be signed soon," Indian Commerce Minister Anand Sharma said during a visit for trade talks.

The ministers refused to give further details on the agreement, but officials here said it would provide "major trade opportunities" for firms involved in Britain's nuclear industry.
