Nuke hotline for India, Pakistan
India and Pakistan agreed Sunday to extend a nuclear testing ban and to set up a hotline between their foreign secretaries aimed at preventing misunderstandings that might lead to a nuclear war.And in that part of the world, it wouldnât take much. Delegations from both countries concluded talks with a joint statement that outlined several "confidence building measures" that include direct communications over the hotline and the testing ban. "Each side reaffirmed its unilateral moratorium on conducting further nuclear test explosions unless, in exercise of national sovereignty, it decides that extraordinary events have jeopardized its supreme interests," the joint statement said. Soooo....nothing has changed. Posted by: Rafael 2004-06-20 |
