Islamabad, Dec 31, IRNA , Pakistan and India will exchange lists of their nuclear installations on Tuesday under a special agreement prohibiting them from attacking each other’s nuclear facilities, officials said Monday.
Pakistan and India exchange lists of their respective nuclear installations and facilities in accordance with Article-II of the Agreement on Prohibition of Attacks Against Nuclear Installations and Facilities between Pakistan and India of December 31, 1988, according to the Foreign Office.
The exchange will take place simultaneously in Islamabad and New Delhi.
Both countries have never given details of the installations and facilities in the lists.
The first such exchange of lists took place on January 1, 1992.
According to the agreement on the exchange, signed on December 31, 1988, and enforced on January 27, 1991, India and Pakistan have to inform each other on Jan. 1 every year of the nuclear installations and facilities to be covered by the agreement.
Even at the height of tension some three years ago, the two countries exchanged information on the nuclear installations and demonstrated their commitments in this respect.
The list usually includes civilian nuclear power plants and gives the exact location of each, sources say.
Under an agreement, both countries also inform each other prior to missile tests.
The lists will be exchanged at a time when no date has been fixed for the so-called composite dialogue process.
