Us Pak Nuclear Deal

Amidst talk of a possible US-Pak civil nuclear deal, two top US think-tanks have asked Pakistan to take five initiatives, including signing the Test Ban Treaty without waiting for India, to win the confidence of the international community.

The United States has downplayed reports of a civil nuclear deal with Pakistan, similar to the Indo-US atomic agreement, during Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's visit to Washington, saying a "breakthrough" in this regard was not expected.

The US went soft on Pakistan's nuclear smuggling efforts during former President Ronald Reagan's administration, fearing that any action would upset their bilateral ties at a critical time of the Afghan war, according to new declassified documents.

Reacting sharply to report that US is considering a nuclear deal with Pakistan on the lines of the Indo-US deal, India today said that anyone considering a nuke pact should first see Islamabad's proliferation track record.

Pakistan's hopes for a nuclear deal and call for a more active US role in resolving the Kashmir issue seem to have been dashed.

US has not been talking to Pak about any nuclear deal and it will be in a "listening mode" if the issue is brought before it during the talks, the State Department said.

Amid reports of a possible civil nuclear deal between US and Pakistan, the American embassy in Pakistan has told NDTV that there are no negotiations on for such an agreement. Yet.

Pakistan says US should offer it an India-like deal in order to maintain 'balance' in the region.
