| Pakistan is not a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and as such, the group has no say in Pakistan's nuclear programme or its assets, Foreign Office spokesman Muhammad Sadiq said on Monday. He told a weekly media briefing that the country had no relationship with the group. He said Pakistan's nuclear assets were fully secure and "followed the best international practices". Referring to the investigation into Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan's alleged role in nuclear proliferation, he said the issue's relevance to foreign policy had been resolved several years ago. Recent statements in the media were only important in a domestic context, he added. The spokesman said the country needed energy and civilian nuclear power plants would help in that regard. "Pakistan is interested in co-operating with other countries to produce nuclear power under the proper safeguards," he said. Referring to the nuclear deal between India and the United States, the spokesman said that Pakistan's stance on the matter was clear. The country's national security interests were supreme and the government would do whatever was necessary to protect them, APP reported him as saying. |

| #1 They sound so responsible and level headed that I'll not give it another thought. After all, if you can't trust the Pakistanis who the hell can you trust. |
