(Web Desk) - Pakistan’s ambassador to the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi said India’s efforts for nuclear expansion are dangerous to peace in the region.
Taking part in a debate in the UN Security Council on non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, Maleeha Lodhi said that granting of discriminatory waivers to some states was another challenge to non-proliferation norms and rules.
Maleeha Lodhi noted that such special arrangements carried obvious proliferation risks and opened up the possibility of diverting material intended for peaceful uses to military purposes.
Speaking on the occasion, the United Nations disarmament Chief Izumi Nakamitsu called for stronger international cooperation to prevent terrorists from accessing and using weapons of mass destruction.
