Meanwhile, Pakistan Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry asked global powers yesterday not to pressurise Pakistan on its nuclear programme.


Pakistan's Dawn newspaper quoting Chaudhry, reports, "Rather than making unrealistic demands on Pakistan to compromise on its core security interests, major powers must consider implications of their actions and policies," Chaudhry said at a seminar on 'Defence, Deterrence and Stability in South Asia', which was jointly organised by Islamabad-based think-tank Centre for International Strategic Studies (CISS) and The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) of London. He did not name the world powers he was referring to.
