India, Pakistan exchange lists of nuclear facilities

The Indian subcontinent’s new year tradition played out again as India and Pakistan exchanged lists of their nuclear installations and facilities.

According to Article II of the Pakistan-India Prohibition of Attacks Agreement, which was signed on December 31, 1988 and came into force on January 27, 1991, each country should also state the exact location of their nuclear installations.

In Islamabad, Pakistan’s list was handed over to a diplomat of the Indian High Commission at the foreign Office at 11 a.m. local time.

A little later, India handed over its list to a Pakistani diplomat at its headquarters in South Block at 11.30 a.m.

This was the nineteenth consecutive list exchange between the two countries.
