DawnThe Obama administration has told Pakistan it would not get an atomic power plant or a civilian nuclear deal from the United States.
A senior US official, while briefing Indian journalists in Washington, said the United States was working closely with Pakistan to help meet its growing energy needs.
“But nuclear power is not currently part of our discussions,” and the United States had conveyed its decision to Pakistan, the official said.
He said the administration had also told Pakistan that “there is no way they can get a civilian nuclear deal similar to the one the Obama administration has signed with India”.
The Indo-US civilian nuclear deal, the official said, was “specific to India only and there is no thinking going on in the administration to create a template for it.”
