ISLAMABAD (APP) - Pakistan Sunday once again said its nuclear deal with China was purely for peaceful purposes and under the safeguards of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), adding, The world should not be worried about the peaceful nuclear deal. Commenting on the statement of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Foreign Office Spokesman Abdul Basit said Pak-China peaceful nuclear deal was not new and it had been already underway for producing electricity. The deal is under the safeguards and the standards of the IAEA and even China has already issued clarification in this regard, therefore, there is no need to seek any fresh clarification from China on this deal, he remarked. The spokesman said Pakistan had been cooperating with the international agencies and China had also assured the world community that the nuclear cooperation between two countries was for peaceful purpose and there was nothing wrong in the deal. Pakistan has urged the international community to realise its growing needs of energy and its present shortfall. Therefore, Pakistan has been using all peaceful means to increase its power generation and nuclear is one of the options in it. Basit said the world should not adopt double standard on the issue of peaceful nuclear deal and should not target it without any justification. Referring to the civil nuclear deal of India with many other countries including America, the spokesman said every country had the right to have peaceful nuclear energy. It is worth recalling that Pakistan has urged the international community to assess the Pak-China civil nuclear deal and avoid giving statements only to please some countries in the region by criticising others. Indian leadership and its press raised many questions on Sino-Pak civil nuclear deal and asked the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) in its plenary meeting to take notice of it but the NSG did not take any action in its recent meeting held in New Zealand. Although the NSG, predominated by western countries, have already given waiver to India that is also discriminatory and will only benefit India. Pakistans nuclear programme, even if it is for peaceful purpose, the international community is not accepting it as this achievement is by a Muslim country and some countries are united against having this facility by any Muslim country. China is Pakistans most trustworthy friend and is the only country that has been helping Pakistan in producing energy through peaceful nuclear technology.
