Islamabad: Pakistan asks member states of the Nuclear Suppliers Group to be "objective and non-discriminatory" while deciding on expansion, just as India gets Swiz and US support for admission in the 48-nation group which trades nuclear technology.
Islamabad has also stepped up diplomatic efforts to raise support for its inclusion in the elite 48-nation bloc.
The Pakistan Foreign Office (FO) said in a statement that Additional Foreign Secretary (UN and Economic Coordination) Tasnim Aslam held a briefing session for the NSG countries' diplomatic missions in Islamabd ahead of NSG plenary session this month in Vienna.
It said that the briefing was part of the ongoing diplomatic efforts for mobilising support for Pakistan's membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).
The statement said "a large number of ambassadors and other senior level representatives" were present at the briefing without giving an exact number.
Earlier, Advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs, Sartaj Aziz, told the Senate yesterday that Pakistan was making efforts for "non-discriminatory approach" for NSG membership and these efforts would pay off.
Pakistan had formally applied for the NSG membership last month.
