Islamabad : Pakistan says it was open to multi-lateral and bilateral nuclear technology cooperation, Pakistan Press International reported.
Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam asked Monday at media briefing on prospects of cooperation between Pakistan and the United States in the sphere of nuclear technology, said: “If we are offered any cooperation, it would not involve Pakistan's nuclear weapon facilities. It has to be consistent with our sovereignty and security. It has to be non-intrusive. Within these parameters, we are open to multi-lateral as well as bilateral nuclear technology cooperation.''
On recent terror attempts in Glasgow (Scotland) and possible harassment to Pakistan-origin UK citizens, the spokesperson said Pakistan was in touch with its mission to cope with such a situation.
Pakistan had condemned the incident and was not aware of any details about connection of any Pakistani with it.
“We are concerned about security of Pakistanis in UK and hoped that government there would take all measures for their safety in case they received any threats,'' she stated.
On Pakistan's response over Indian intentions to construct more dams on River Chenab, Aslam said India was required to inform Pakistan six months before start of any project under Indus Water Treaty.
“We are aware of some projects being considered by India, but it could not take any steps since it had not been not officially informed so far.''
She said process of shifting four Afghan refugee camps situated near Peshawar and Quetta could not be carried out due to logistical problems. The shifting was meant to control misuse of these camps by Taliban.
Pakistan had not decided yet to seek help from any country for relief work after recent rains and floods in the country, though it was approached by many countries and United Nations.
On meeting of Interior Secretaries of Pakistan and India Tuesday in New Delhi, she said it was part of composite dialogue and both sides would discuss number of issues including counter terrorism, narcotics control, human and drug trafficking, prisoners and fishermen.
She said agenda of UK defence delegation currently visiting Pakistan was to hold review meetings.
About extradition of sons of a former Balochistan Chief Minister allegedly leading banned BLA group, Aslam said Pakistan and UK had already declared BLA as a terrorist organization, adding there were also Interpol red warrants for some of group's members.
