New Delhi, Jun 19 (IBNS): Ahead of the key meeting of the Nuclear Suppliers' Group (NSG), a 48-member club of nuclear trading nations, in Seoul on Friday, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar visited China this week in an attempt to garner support for India's membership, media reports said on Sunday.

He was in Bejing from June 16-17.

Jaishankar held bilateral consultations with his counterpart in Beijing.

China had earlier raised strong opposition to India's bid for membership to the NSG.

Besides China, other countries which have opposed the move are New Zealand, Ireland, Turkey, South Africa and Austria.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had, however, received the support for India's membership to NSG from Switzerland and US President Barack Obama.

Mexico had also extended its support for India to become a member in the NSG.
