Pakistan’s high commissioner to Australia, Abdul Malik Abdullah, said if Australia is willing to export uranium to India, it should sell it to Pakistan as well. A day after Australia’s ruling Labour Party approved uranium sale to India, Pakistan has demanded it be allowed to buy the nuclear raw material if the Gillard administration proceeds with sales of yellowcake to New Delhi. “If Australia is going to lift the ban on a country which has not signed NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) it is much hoped that will also apply to Pakistan the same way,” Abdullah was quoted as saying by The Australian newspaper.
Labour Party on Sunday voted to overturn a decades-old ban on uranium sale to India, paving the way for Canberra to supply yellowcake to a nation outside the NPT. Abdullah said Pakistan has not made a request to buy Australian uranium but this could change in the future. “In that case we will hope that we will also be treated at par with other non-NPT signatories,” he said.
If Australia approves uranium sale to India, it should also approve uranium sale to such non-NPT signatories as 'Al Qaeda' and 'Taliban'.
