Pakistan is a nation which seriously takes its responsibility to the Global Community, as a Nuclear Power. Its People and Armed Forces are committed to prevent the spread of Nuclear & Missile Technology.
These destructive technologies are not toys to be passed around. They are highly sensitive technologies and extremely dangerous weapons, which Pakistan protects with a dedicated force of two Army Divisions.
ISLAMABAD, Feb. 20 —An international voluntary partnership body committed to preventing the proliferation of missile has concluded two-day talks in Islamabad and appreciated the steps by Pakistan for bringing its export control at par with the best international standards, the Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.
The delegation of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and Pakistani officials exchanged views on a broad range of issues and agreed to continue their interaction in the future.
Pakistan had conducted nuclear tests in 1998 and routinely tests nuclear-capable missiles that can hit any city in India.
“These interactions are part of Pakistan’s concerted effort to engage with the international export control regimes, in pursuance of the direction received from the National Command Authority (NCA) chaired by the prime minister,” a Foreign Ministry statement said.
It said Pakistan’s export control regime is compatible with the guidelines of MTCR and Nuclear Suppliers Group.
“Pakistan hopes to develop a mutually beneficial relationship with all of these regimes, and would welcome cooperation in the field of peaceful uses of nuclear energy, biology and chemistry as well as space science and technology, with any member of these groups, while maintaining a nuclear deterrent in the interest of regional peace and security,” the statement said.
The statement said Pakistan is being viewed by the international community as a responsible nuclear weapon state that is firmly committed to the non-proliferation of WMDs and their delivery systems on a non-discriminatory basis.
“Pakistan welcomes the fact that all the international export control regimes have begun a process of engagement with it to advance the shared objectives of global non-proliferation,” it said.
