India Nuclear Weapons

External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar on Sunday said that artificial intelligence (AI) will be a profound factor for the world, after nuclear weapons.

In 2023, the global nuclear landscape was characterised by significant developments among the nine nuclear-armed states: the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel.

Nine nuclear-armed nations including the US, Russia, France, China, India and Pakistan, continued to modernise their nuclear arsenals and several of them deployed new nuclear-capable weapon systems in 2023, a Swedish think-tank said on Monday.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist), in its manifesto, which was released last week, has promised "complete elimination of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological weapons."

The impact of US President Donald Trump's erroneous decision to withdraw from the JCPOA deal in 2015 was multi-layered. Beyond diplomacy and realpolitik, the issue of Iran's nuclearisation threatens to become more uncontainable than ever.

Rajnath Singh today questioned the intention behind the CPI(M)'s election manifesto promise to dismantle all nuclear weapons in India and demanded to know the stand of the Congress on this issue.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out at the Opposition INDIA bloc today over one of its constituents being in favour of nuclear disarmament and said they cannot protect the country.

In the case of the seizure of suspicious items being shipped from China for possible use in Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme, a DRDO team on Monday submitted its official report to the competent authority, said government sources.

Satellite images first published in a detailed New York Times report indicate the possible reactivation of China's Lop Nur nuclear test facility in the remote Xinjian Autonomous Region in the northwest of the country.

G20 leaders have called on all states to "refrain from the threat, or use, of force to seek territorial acquisition" and ruled the threat of use of nuclear weapons "inadmissible" - a discreet critique of Russia's war on Ukraine.

"I think it's also been very useful that Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Modi in India have also raised their concerns about the use of nuclear weapons as well. I think that's also having an impact on the Russians," Bill Burns said in an interview.

Pakistan is likely to continue to modernise and expand its nuclear capabilities by conducting training with its deployed weapons and developing new delivery systems in 2022, the Pentagon's top intelligence official has told lawmakers.

Indian Ambassador to the UN Conference on Disarmament, Pankaj Sharma noted that India maintains a policy of credible minimum deterrence, based on a no-first-use posture and non-use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon States.

India on Monday underlined the need for the international community to pay closer attention to the illicit proliferation of networks of nuclear weapons, their delivery systems, components and relevant technologies.
