WASHINGTON: Pakistan is offering its atomic fuel services to the world. Pakistan's Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani made the public offer in a statement of his country's commitments presented at US President Barack Obama's two-day summit on nuclear security. The written statement was distributed on Tuesday.
“As a country with advanced fuel capability, Pakistan is in a position to provide nuclear fuel cycle services under IAEA (UN International Atomic Energy Agency) safeguards, and to participate in any non-discriminatory nuclear fuel cycle assurance mechanism,†Gilani's statement said.
The PM said that Pakistan “is strongly committed to nuclear security.â€
He added that Pakistan “would continue to refine and modernize its technical and human resources and mechanisms on safety and security of nuclear weapons, nuclear materials, facilities and assets.â€
“Pakistan has maintained the highest standards for non-proliferation,†he added. “When problems surfaced we addressed them definitively and kept the international community informed.â€
“Today a robust command and control system is in place, which protects our strategic assets against theft, diversion, and accidental or unauthorized use,†he said.—Reuters
