| India and the US on Friday inched closer to concluding an agreement to operationalise the civil nuclear deal but ''some work'' still needed to be done after the second day of high-level talks.
Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon and US Under Secretary of State Nicholas Burns held detailed discussions on the proposed 123 agreement.
The talks are held with an aim of sorting out differences on various aspects, particularly the reprocessing right.
The two sides also held marathon technical-level talks focussing on nitty gritty that would govern the agreement, like fuel supplies, sources said.
''The talks were positive,'' a source said, adding there was forward movement in the negotiations.
''But there is still some work to be done,'' the source said. The talks will continue on Saturday.
Both sides are keen to conclude the agreement as early as possible.
Burns also discussed the issue with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, National Security Adviser M K Narayanan and Minister of State for External Affairs Anand
Sharma.
Earlier in the day, the US Under Secretary said both sides are working hard to conclude the deal and hoped it could be clinched ''as soon as possible''.
Burns told reporters he had ''good discussions'' with Menon and special envoy on the nuclear issue Shyam Saran on Thursday
