Pakistan, US agree to discuss civil nuclear technology: Ishaq Dar
ISLAMABAD: Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has said that Pakistan and United States have agreed to hold dialogue on cooperation in civil nuclear technology.
He was talking to media after a meeting with American trade delegation headed by Elizabeth Little who called on him here on Tuesday.
The Minister said the US delegation expressed willingness to invest in bio-energy sector in Pakistan to overcome the power crisis. He said transfer of technology is major impediment in the way of bilateral cooperation between both countries.
He said Pakistan is an attractive country for investment. He said resolving energy crisis of the country is PML-N government's first priority.
"We want to promote trade with open mind. The PML-N government is committed to revive the economy.”
The head of American delegation Elizabeth Little said her country will enhance cooperation with Pakistan in power generation through wind and bio-gas. She said US will enhance technical cooperation with Pakistan to increase power generation through alternative ways.
No discussion with Pakistan on civilian N-tech: US
WASHINGTON: There has been “no discussion of civilian nuclear technology” between the United States and Pakistan, the US State Department said on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said at a briefing in Islamabad that Pakistan and the US had agreed in principle to continue dialogue on cooperation in civil nuclear technology. The minister, however, also said that no timeline could be given for any agreement on the issue.
The finance minister made these remarks after a meeting with the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation president Elizabeth Littlefield.
At the State Department, spokesman Patrick Ventrell told a briefing that the United States was aware of Pakistan’s energy needs and wanted to help Islamabad overcome the energy crisis but there had been “no discussion of civilian nuclear technology”.
Mr Ventrell welcomed Pakistan’s interest in buying electricity from India, saying that “anything that improves relations between India and Pakistan is a good thing” and it includes (cooperation) in the energy sector as well.
Pakistan has been urging the United States for some time to conclude a deal for civil nuclear technology similar to the one finalised with India. Washington, however, has been reluctant to do so due to concerns linked to the proliferation ring run by Pakistani scientist A. Q. Khan.
