Pakistan Nuclear Weapons Program

There is no change in Pakistan's nuclear policy, their Foreign Office said, hours after Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan vowed that his country will never ever start a nuclear war with India, amid escalating tensions between the nuclear powers.

Pakistan is developing new types of nuclear weapons, including short-range tactical ones, that bring more risks to the region, America's intelligence chief warned today.

Expressing concern over latest reports suggesting that China supplied nuclear weapons technology and design to Pakistan, two influential US lawmakers have written a letter to the Obama administration, seeking to know what has been done to halt such cooperation which represents a threat to the national security of America and its allies.

Top US lawmakers and experts had expressed concern over Pakistan's proliferation history and its nexus with rogue nations like North Korea in helping them acquire nuclear weapons, a month before Pyongyang successfully conducted its first hydrogen bomb test.

Asserting that Pakistan has repeatedly proven itself to be "deceptive and deceitful", a top American lawmaker, who heads a Congressional subcommittee on terrorism and non-proliferation, has urged the US President not to ink any kind of civil nuclear deal with Islamabad.

Ahead of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's visit to the US later this month, the Obama Administration is in talks with Pakistan on a range of issues including limiting and controlling Islamabad's weapons programme, according to a media report.
