May 10: The Nation report by Shafqat Ali states that Pakistan Wednesday said that it was committed to non-proliferation of the Weapons of Mass Destruction and shared the concern over the threat it posed to international peace and security. Addressing the two-day international seminar on ‘the present and future of strategic export controls’, Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua said Pakistan remained fully committed to the objectives of non-proliferation and disarmament. “We recognise the necessity of exercising effective controls over the transfer of sensitive goods and technologies to prevent their misuse and diversion to non-peaceful uses. At the same time, all states have a legitimate interest in accessing dual-use technologies for genuine socio-economic development needs,” she said.
