On the second day of his three-day visit to India, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao was given a ceremonial reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan, following which he paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat and signed six agreements with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at Hyderabad House. On the economic front, Mr. Wen said China understood India’s concerns on bilateral trade imbalance and was ready to take measures to facilitate access of Indian IT products, pharmaceuticals and farm produce to the Chinese market. China and India should work together to achieve a $100 billion two-way trade target by 2015, he said, adding that agreements worth $16 billion were inked during his visit. Mr. Wen announced that China would provide $1 million for the reconstruction of Nalanda University, the ancient seat of learning in Bihar which was a favourite of visiting Chinese scholars.

The EU-India summit India and the European Union does not have the same hyper-resonance as New Delhi's other bilateral relations. Yet, as the annual EU-India summit testifies, both sides are engaged on issues of vital importance. The 11th summit, for which Prime Minister Manmohan Singh flew to Brussels last week, was significant for several reasons. Both sides hope to conclude a free trade agreement by the spring of 2011. EU is among India's biggest trading partners. Last year, the two-way trade in goods and services was worth €69 billion. The 27-nation EU is also a big investor in India. The Broad Based Trade and Investment Agreement, in the works since 2007, aims to dismantle tariffs on most products traded by the two sides. Expectations are that it could push bilateral trade to as much as €100 billion. But the negotiations had stumbled on EU insistence over including a clause on sustainable development that would hold trade and investors to strict human rights, particularly

Biorobotics is a term that loosely covers the fields of cybernetics , bionics and even genetic engineering as a collective study. Biorobotics is often used to refer to a real subfield of robotics : studying how to make robots that emulate or simulate living biological organisms mechanically or even chemically. The term is also used in a reverse definition: making biological organisms as manipulatable and functional as robots, or making biological organisms as components of robots. In the latter sense biorobotics can be referred to as a theoretical discipline of comprehensive genetic engineering in which organisms are created and designed by artificial means. The creation of life from non-living matter for example, would be biorobotics. The field is in its infancy and is sometimes known as synthetic biology or bionanotechnology . The replicants in the film Blade Runner would be considered biorobotic in nature: (synthetic) organisms of living tissue and cells yet created artifi

India and France signed a multibillion agreement on Monday to build two nuclear power plants in India as French President Nicolas Sarkozy worked to drum up business for his nation during his four-day visit here. Areva SA, one of France’s main nuclear power companies, will build two European pressurized reactors of 1,650 megawatts each at Jaitapur in Maharashtra. The agreement, valued at about $9.3 billion, was signed in the presence of Mr. Sarkozy and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The deal marked the first two of 20 nuclear reactors the country wants to build to meet its soaring energy demand .

During his first stopover on his four-day visit to India here on Saturday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy called for a permanent seat for India in the U.N. Security Council. It was “unthinkable” that a country of a billion people should have no representation in the Security Council, he said in his address at the Indian Space Research Organisation where he arrived with his wife Carla Bruni and a large contingent of French ministers and executives. India's recent election to the Security Council for two years “must serve as the prelude to a permanent Indian presence within the UNSC,” Mr. Sarkozy said.

ISRO signs up for two more French launches, renews EADS Astrium contract The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has signed two more commercial agreements with Ariannespace, the French commercial launch services company, ISRO Chairman K. Radhakrishnan said in his address during French President Nicolas Sarkozy's visit to the space agency on Saturday. Indian satellites GSAT 8 and GSAT 10 would be launched in 2011 and 2012, he said. The launch cost is estimated to be Rs. 250 crore for each satellite. Ariannespace has launched 12 Indian communications satellites on a commercial basis so far. The ISRO has also renewed its five-year contract (of 2005) with EADS Astrium, a European satellite system specialist that provides civil and defence space systems and services. The ISRO envisaged that this alliance between its commercial arm, the Antrix Corporation Limited, and the EADS Astrium “will jointly address the commercial market for communications satellites with payload power b
