India and Pak exchanged lists of their nuclear installations today
NEW DELHI: For the 20th consecutive year India and Pakistan exchanged the lists of their nuclear installations under an agreement on Saturday which prohibits any kind of attack.
At New Delhi and Islamabad the lists were exchanged through diplomatic channels simultaneously under an Agreement on the Prohibition of Attack against Nuclear Installations and Facilities, a statement by the External Affairs Ministry.
The first such list was exchanged on January one, 1992. Under the agreement signed on December 31, 1988, which came into force on January 27, 1991, the two countries share details of their nuclear installations with each other on the first day of every year.
The pact is one of the best confidence-building measures between the two countries which have continued even when the relations are good or bad.
