Pak has better credentials than India to join NSG: Sartaz Aziz
Islamabad: Amid Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to get the membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), Pakistan on Monday claimed it had stronger credentials than India to join the group.
“If the group forms uniform criteria for non–Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (NPT) states to join it, then Pakistan has stronger credentials for its membership than India,” said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz.
“Pakistan has very bright chances of getting the NSG membership based on merit,” claimed Aziz.
