India, Pakistan swap list of nuclear facilities |
2006-01-02 |
Jan 1: Nuclear-armed rivals Pakistan and India have exchanged lists of their nuclear facilities in line with an agreement to swap such information annually on New Year's Day, the foreign ministry said. The two countries swapped the information under an agreement signed in 1988 on the prohibition of attacks on each other's nuclear installations, the ministry said in a statement Sunday. The agreement came into force in 1991 and the first such exchange of information was on January 1, 1992. Under the agreement both Pakistan and India are to refrain from attacking each other's nuclear facilities in the event of a war. |
