Washington D.C. [USA], Mar 23 (ANI): The newly appointed United States National Security Advisor (NSA), John Bolton, who had been a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has had grave concerns about Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.

Last year, he said if Pakistan's nuclear arms fall into the hands of terrorist, it would be like NorthKorea or Iran on steroids.

"Pakistan is a nuclear power and if it were to tip into terrorist control it would be like #NorthKorea or #Iran on steroids," Bolton tweeted last year.

Bolton, who was also an analyst on the Fox News Channel, is also of the opinion that more pressure should be exerted on Pakistan government to compel it to take action against terrorist groups operating from their territory.

"Look, I think Afghanistan will be won or lost in Pakistan. And I certainly think that more pressure on the government there because of its support for terrorist groups, giving them safe haven in Pakistan is welcome," he said on the channel last year.

Yesterday, President Trump appointed Bolton as the NSA, replacing H.R. McMaster.

Bolton served as the ambassador to the United Nations under former US President George W. Bush during parts of 2005 and 2006. (ANI)

KARACHI: Nuclear security has been the heart of international debate since the inception of nuclear technology.

Being a nuclear-armed country, Pakistan has often been subjected to unwarranted criticism about its nuclear safety record.

However, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Yukiya Amano was highly impressed by the standards Pakistan is maintaining at the various civilian nuclear facilities and installations he visited.

Amano, while addressing a seminar in Karachi, said: “Your country [Pakistan] is an experienced user of peaceful nuclear technology.”

The IAEA chief, while summing up the visits he made during his three-day trip, said, “Everywhere [I went] it was clear you [Pakistan] have the knowledge and the pool of people who are dedicated to do this job.”

He also highlighted the role nuclear technology plays in our daily lives, for example in the production of food, tyres and many other things.

“Nuclear technology plays a much greater role than many people realise,” said the Japanese diplomat.

Amano also talked about the various health facilities he visited during his trip and said the clinics in Pakistan are very advanced. He also shared that the IAEA is helping Pakistan develop a national cancer control programme.

The IAEA DG was also taken to the under-construction K-II and K-III nuclear plants on his three-day trip.

While speaking about his visit to the under-construction facilities, the IAEA chief remarked, “You [Pakistan] are taking a lot of care for the safety and security of the plants.”

Amano, while concluding his speech said, “Your country needs more energy and is committed to nuclear security at all levels and it is most importantly cooperating with the IAEA.”

Earlier, Director General of the Security Division at the Foreign Office Dr Zafar Ali highlighted Pakistan’s long journey on the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

Ali, in his address, made a pitch about Pakistan’s inclusion in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). The diplomat said that Pakistan’s desire to join the NSG stands on solid grounds of technical experience and well-established commitment to nuclear safety.

The DG concluded by saying, “The NSG would be better off with Pakistan inside rather than outside.”

The session was also addressed by former ambassador Ali Sarwar Naqvi and Dr Masuma Hasan, who highlighted Pakistan’s track record on nuclear safety and gave the welcome remarks.

The seminar was jointly hosted by the Pakistan Institute of International Affairs and Centre for International and Strategic Studies.

somehow me thinks this won't be the case, unless he is replaced with an even more extreme neo con...
Trump is BROKEN.

Pakistan has zero tolerance towards drugs and terrorism.
But tolerates half of Afghanistan being in Pakistan instead...

Actually both North Korea and Pakistan have shown more maturity and responsibility when it comes to nuclear weapons, unlike some trigger happy cowboys
