in the current non-proliferation regime; Normalize the relationship of the three ex-NPT nuclear weapon states with those who are NPT signatories; Address new issues like access to weapons of mass destruction by non-state actors; Non-discriminatory rules ensuring every state's right to peaceful uses of nuclear energy; Universal, non-discriminatory and legally binding negative security assurances to non-nuclear weapon states; A need to address the issue of missiles, including development and deployment of Anti-ballistic missile systems; Strengthen existing international instruments to prevent the militarisation of outer space, including development of ASATs; Tackle the growth in armed forces and the accumulation and sophistication of conventional tactical weapons. Revitalise the UN disarmament machinery to address international security, disarmament and proliferation challenges. Pakistan has repeatedly stressed at international fora like the Conference on Disarmament that it will give up its nuclear weapons only when other nuclear armed states do so, and when disarmament is universal and verifiable. It rejects any unilateral disarmament on its part. Infrastructure Uranium Pakistan's uranium infrastructure is based on the use of gas centrifuges to produce highly enriched uranium (HEU) at the Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) at Kahuta. Responding to India's nuclear test in 1974, Munir Khan launched the uranium program, codename Project-706 under the aegis of the PAEC. Physical chemist, Dr. Khalil Qureshi, did most of the calculations as a member of the uranium division at PAEC, which undertook research on several methods of enrichment, including gaseous diffusion, jet nozzle and molecular laser isotope separation techniques, as well as centrifuges. Abdul Qadeer Khan officially joined this program in 1976, bringing with him centrifuge designs he mastered at URENCO, the Dutch firm where he had worked as a senior scientist. Later that year, the government separated the program from PAEC and moved the program to the Engineering Research Laboratories (ERL), with A.Q. Khan as its senior scientist. To acquire the necessary equipment and material for this program, Khan developed a procurement ring. Electronic materials were imported from the United Kingdom by two liaison officers posted to the High Commission of Pakistan in London and Bonn Germany. The army engineer and ex-technical liaison officer, Major-General Syed Ali Nawab discreetly oversaw KRL operations in the 1970s including procuring the electronics that were marked as "common items." This ring was also illicitly used decades later, in the late 1980s and 90s to provide technology to Libya (under Muammar Gaddafi), North Korea, and Iran. Despite
