India, Pak exchange list of nuclear installations

New Delhi, Jan 1 (PTI) India and Pakistan on Saturday
exchanged the lists of their nuclear installations for the
20th consecutive year under an agreement which prohibits any
kind of attack on such facilities.
The lists were exchanged through diplomatic channels
simultaneously at New Delhi and Islamabad under the Agreement
on the Prohibition of Attack against Nuclear Installations and
Facilities, a statement by the Indian External Affairs
Ministry said here.
Under the agreement signed on December 31, 1988, which
came into force on January 27, 1991, the two countries share
details of their nuclear installations with each other on the
first day of every year. The first such list was exchanged on
January one, 1992.
The pact is one of the best confidence-building measures
between the two countries which has continued even when the
relations witnessed acrimony and chill. PTI
