ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Advisor to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz has on Tuesday said that India is lobbying to become a member of Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). Sartaj Aziz said that India is developing K-4 Ballistic Missiles. The Advisor said that one specific proposal under consideration is to move resolution in the next session of the UN General Assembly to declare the Indian Ocean nuclear free zone, adding that we will approach other countries as well to cosponsor this resolution. He said that Pakistan has undertaken a proactive diplomatic offensive in all the member countries of the group. “Our lobbying in the United States is quite active and our missions are also very active to protect the country's interests,” he said. The advisor said Pakistan's efforts for peace and friendship must not be interpreted as its weakness. We are fully capable to defend our people and territory.
