The final moment of truth has come. An optimistic Bush and Manmohan Singh are looking towards the US Congress to give the final nod to the nuke 123 agreements between Indian and US.

In spite of NSG waiver, nothing is for certain. The democrats in US Congress are not in a hurry to act so fast. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh embarks on a 10-day visit to the US and France on Monday amid mounting suspense over the Indo-US nuclear deal clearing the final Congressional hurdle in time for President George W Bush to toast the landmark accord.

Singh's first diplomatic engagement abroad after the crucial waiver that ended the country's 34-year nuclear isolation may also see India and France firm up an agreement on civil nuclear energy cooperation after summit talks with President Nicholas Sarkozy in Paris on September 30.

A meeting with Chinese premier Wen Jiabo has also been scheduled during which the two leaders are expected to put behind the strains in bilateral relations following Beijing's perceived negative role at the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) meet in Vienna.
