Pakistan is crying hoarse from being made to sit in the corner. It will say anything to get off the corner and be accepted in the comity of nations.-JPR

Pakistan Islamabad, November 15:
Pakistan has said it is not in a nuclear arms race with India and will not take any "provocative action" and
urged New Delhi to move in the same direction for maintaining peace in South Asia.

"Without compromising our security, we unilaterally pledge to the world that we will not take a provocative action and we want India to move in the same direction for a nuclear free South Asia," Pakistan Foreign Minister Abdul Sattar has said.

Stating that Pakistan wants to "reassure the world community that our policy will be based on restraint and sense of responsibility on the nuclear issue", Sattar said, "we are not in competition with India, we have limited resources. Our efforts will be aimed at maintaining a certain minimum deterrence capability." "But it requires India's co-operation. That requires a positive response from India," the Foreign Minister said in an interview with a Japanese
newspaper Nikkei.

He also reiterated that Pakistan did not want a war with India. "On the contrary it is in Pakistan's national interests to live in peace and have good neighborly relations with India based on principles of peaceful co-existence. It has been Pakistan's policy in the past and
that will be our policy," he asserted.
