NEW DELHI — Canada and India have resolved a dispute over how to implement a two-year-old nuclear co-operation agreement that will see Canadian uranium exported to Indian authorities for the production of energy.

The development was announced by Prime Minister Stephen Harper Tuesday on the second day of his visit here, shortly after a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

“Our government is committed to promoting greater trade and investment with India,” Harper said in a written statement.

He added that the nuclear deal will help Canadian companies “play a greater role in meeting India’s growing energy needs.”

Canada and India have been haggling over “administrative” arrangements on a nuclear deal that was announced with great fanfare by Harper and Singh in Toronto in 2010.

That nuclear co-operation agreement came after decades of distrust sparked by India’s use of Canadian nuclear technology for a weapons test in 1974.
