India, Pakistan Exchange Lists of Nuclear Data

NEW DELHI (RIA Novosti) - India and Pakistan officially exchanged on Sunday lists of nuclear installations and facilities in accordance with the agreement on nuclear security in the region, according to Indian and Pakistani TV channels.

At the beginning of each year, usually on January 1, Islamabad and New Delhi provide each other with lists of their nuclear installations and facilities under an agreement signed in 1988 when they undertook not to attack each other’s nuclear facilities. This measure is considered one of the most important for the maintenance of nuclear security in South Asia.

The “Agreement on the Prohibition of Attack against Nuclear Installations and Facilities” came into force in January 1991.
