Pakistan: seeking regional peace and progress in a non-nuclear South Asia
Article Abstract:
Pakistan's position on arms control and security issues is that it wants regional peace so that it can develop and progress, for which nuclear non-proliferation is essential in South Asia. Pakistan is ready to make South Asia free of all weapons of mass destruction by entering into a bilateral agreement with India. It has signed the chemical weapons convention and adheres to the missile technology control regime. Pakistan even started its first nuclear program only after India had conducted its nuclear test. It has made several proposals such as the establishment of NWFZ (Nuclear Weapon Free Zone) to prevent non-proliferation in South Asia and maintain peace for its own survival and progress.

India: seeking a democratic and non-discriminatory new world order
Article Abstract:
India plans to create a new world order that is universal, democratic and non-discriminatory. It seeks peace and is always supportive of a nuclear arms control treaty, though it refused to sign the non-proliferation treaty because it is discriminatory. India has attempted to institute a number of confidence building measures (CBMs) to improve bilateral relationships, reduce tensions and form a new world that is democratic and non-discriminatory in nature. It signed a joint declaration with Pakistan on a chemical weapons convention to this end.

Denuclearizing South Asia: global approaches to a regional problem
Article Abstract:
An understanding on nuclear arms control between India and the United States could help in reducing the nuclear weapons in South Asia. A Comprehensive Test Ban (CTB) treaty, a global halt in the production of plutonium and highly enriched uranium (HEU), global inventories of nuclear arms delivery vehicles and the development of confidence building measures (CBMs) in the subcontinent could facilitate this goal. The relationship between India, Pakistan and China is discussed and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty are discussed.
