Pakistan and India on Monday carried out the annual exchange of lists of nuclear installations and facilities covered under the prohibition of attack agreement between the two countries.
“The governments of both the countries are required to exchange such lists in accordance with Article-II of the Agreement on prohibition of attacks against nuclear installations and facilities between Pakistan and India of 31 December 1988,” said a Foreign Office statement.
A list of requisite facilities in Pakistan was officially handed over to a representative of the Indian high commission at the Foreign Office while India provided its list to the Pakistani high commission in New Delhi.
A separate statement issued by the Foreign Office read that the nuclear neighbours also carried out the exchange of lists of prisoners.
