MTCR
After facing the disappointmet at the Nuclear security council, India has received a great strategic benefit in the Missile Technology Control regime. The Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) is an informal political understanding among states that seek to limit the proliferation of missiles and missile technology. The Missile Technology Control Regime was formed in 1987 by the G-7 industrialized countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the United States). There are now 35 members in the regime with India being the latest one joining in 2016. India's inclusion would help country in many ways like in buying high end missile technologies from other countries and in buy Surveillance drones from the other promising parties : India is very keen to use. The MTCR was initiated by like-minded countries to address the increasing proliferation of nuclear weapons by addressing the most destabilizing delivery system for such weapons. In 1992, the MTCR’s original focus on missiles for nuclear weapons delivery was extended to a focus on the proliferation of missiles for the delivery of all types of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), i.e., nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. Such proliferation has been identified as a threat to international peace and security.
