India" but by the "paranoia about US attacks on its strategic assets." Noting recent changes in Pakistan's nuclear doctrine, Saran said "the Pakistan Military and civilian elite is convinced that the United States has also become a dangerous adversary, which seeks to disable, disarm or take forcible possession of Pakistan's nuclear arsenals and its status as nuclear power." , Pakistan has been reportedly developing smaller, tactical nuclear weapons for use on the battlefield. This is consistent with earlier statements from a meeting of the National Command Authority (which directs nuclear policy and development) saying Pakistan is developing "a full-spectrum deterrence capability to deter all forms of aggression." Arms control proposals Pakistan has over the years proposed a number of bilateral or regional non-proliferation steps and confidence building measures to India, including: A joint Indo-Pakistan declaration renouncing the acquisition or manufacture of nuclear weapons, in 1978. South Asian Nuclear Weapons Free Zone, in 1978. Mutual inspections by India and Pakistan of each other's nuclear facilities, in 1979. Simultaneous adherence to the NPT by India and Pakistan, in 1979. A bilateral or regional nuclear test-ban treaty, in 1987. A South Asia Zero-Missile Zone, in 1994. India rejected all six proposals. However, India and Pakistan reached three bilateral agreements on nuclear issues. In 1989, they agreed not to attack each other's nuclear facilities. Since then they have been regularly exchanging lists of nuclear facilities on 1 January of each year. Another bilateral agreement was signed in March 2005 where both nations would alert the other on ballistic missile tests. In June 2004, the two countries signed an agreement to set up and maintain a hotline to warn each other of any accident that could be mistaken for a nuclear attack. These were deemed essential risk reduction measures in view of the seemingly unending state of misgiving and tension between the two countries, and the extremely short response time available to them to any perceived attack. None of these agreements limits the nuclear weapons programs of either country in any way. Disarmament policy Pakistan has blocked negotiation of a Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty as it continues to produce fissile material for weapons. In a recent statement at the Conference on Disarmament, Pakistan laid out its nuclear disarmament policy and what it sees as the proper goals and requirements for meaningful negotiations: A commitment by all states to complete verifiable nuclear disarmament; Eliminate the discrimination
