ISLAMABAD:Pakistan has called for evolving a rules-based, equitable and non-discriminatory international order to promote nuclear disarmament that strengthen the non-proliferation regime by shunning double standards.
Speaking in the General Assembly’s First Committee in New York, Pakistani delegate Usman Jadoon said that such an order should also limit and rationalize the stockpiles of conventional weapons.
He said the double standards and discrimination in the South Asia region are aggravating the tenuous strategic stability and facilitating the hegemonic ambitions and aggressive designs of one regional state that is engaged in a relentless pursuit of strategic domination.
Usman Jadoon said Pakistan remains committed to the goal of complete nuclear disarmament in a universal, verifiable and non-discriminatory manner.
