Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons Are in Safe Hands: FO

LAHORE, Pakistan: Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons Are in Safe Hands: FO, US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne Patterson has termed the allegations about the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal as completely false. She said the US has not been negotiating any understandings with the Pakistani military over the nuclear issue.
On the other hand, Abdul Basit reiterates that Islamabad does not require and will not allow any foreign assistance in making the nuclear assets secure. Pakistan has strongly dismissed US newspaper’s article over the safety of Pakistan’s nuclear assets. The foreign office termed the assertions made in the article utterly misleading and totally baseless.
Expressing strong disapproval, the spokesman Abdul Basit alleged that the author of the article was biased against Pakistan. The spokesman said the article quoted unverifiable sources and it was aimed at tarnishing the image of Pakistan. The Spokesman emphasised that Pakistan’s strategic assets were completely safe and secure. Islamabad has always stood by the assertion that the indigenous multi-layered controls were as foolproof and effective as in any other nuclear weapons state.
In a statement, Patterson said Washington has no intention to seize Pakistani nuclear weapons or material. She said Pakistan is a key ally in the common effort to fight extremists and foster regional security. Patterson vowed to cooperate on a wide range of security assistance initiatives, including significant efforts focused on strengthening counter insurgency capacities.

Pakistan’s nuclear assets in safe hands: FO Spokesman

Lahore, Pakistan:- The Foreign Office Spokesman, on Indian concerns over the safety of Pakistan’s nuclear assets, has said that such remarks are evidently self-serving and integral to India’s efforts to seek unilateral advantage at the cost of regional strategic stability by its feverish militarization and working on dangerous military doctrines.

“Pakistan has refrained from commenting on India’s own record on nuclear safety and security and its overt and covert endeavours to build its WMD programmes,” the spokesman said in a statement.

Instead of finger-pointing, India should accept our proposal for promoting regional strategic restraint regime and work with Pakistan to promote strategic stability in South Asia, the statement added.

The Spokesman said suggestions in this regard were made to the Indian Foreign Secretary at the recent meeting of the two foreign secretaries in New York. “It is also time that India stop its opportunistic propaganda against Pakistan,” the Spokesman said.
