According to a Foreign Office statement issued in Islamabad, Pakistan and India exchanged a list of their nuclear installations that cannot be attacked in the event of an escalation of hostilities on Sunday. This is an annual practice that the two neighbors have followed for more than three decades.
According to Article II of the Agreement on Prohibition of Attacks against Nuclear Installations and Facilities, which was signed on December 31, 1988, and ratified on January 27, 1991, the lists of nuclear facilities and installations were exchanged.
This agreement mandates that both nations share information about their nuclear facilities.Since January 1, 1992, this practice of exchanging lists has continued.
According to a statement released by the Foreign Office, "Pursuant to the agreement, the list of nuclear installations and facilities in Pakistan was officially handed over to a representative of the Indian High Commission in Islamabad at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday."
According to the Foreign Office, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs also gave a list of nuclear facilities and installations to a Pakistan High Commission representative in New Delhi at the same time.
The two countries' ties are being strained as a result of the Kashmir issue and cross-border terrorism.These rundowns are traded under the arrangements of the Settlement on Consular Access endorsed in May 2008.
