Pakistan a very peaceful country, claims its PM

[ECH1969]

Washington should set up nuclear arms controls for South Asia as part of its proposed deal to supply India with civil nuclear technology, Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said on Tuesday.

Aziz also said the United States should make its nuclear technology available to Pakistan as well, although Washington has made it clear there will be no such offer despite Islamabad being a key ally in the war on terrorism.

"We are not in an arms race. Pakistan is a very peaceful country. Our defence strategy is a minimum credible deterrence," he said.
