Missile Technology Control Regime(MTCR) delegation visits Pakistan

[Saifullah Sani]

A delegation of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) visited Pakistan on Wednesday.
According to a Foreign Office press release, the delegation was led by Ham Sang-Wook, Director General for Non-Proliferation and Nuclear Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, who holds the current MTCR Chair.

The delegation also comprised representatives from the MTCR member countries.

Formal consultations between Pakistan and the MTCR delegation were led from the Pakistan side by Ms Tasnim Aslam, Additional Secretary (UN&EC) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The agenda for talks included the latest political and technical developments in the MTCR. Additional Secretary Tasnim Aslam briefed the delegation on Pakistan’s contribution to international efforts aimed at preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery.

The MTCR delegation was briefed on the administrative, legislative and regulatory measures for the establishment of a robust command and control system, an effective and comprehensive export control regime as well as steps to improve physical security at all levels.

Pakistan’s export control regime was at par with the best international standards and its national control lists encompass the items and technologies controlled by the MTCR, it was told.

The Pakistan side underscored that efforts to prevent proliferation should not hamper the right of developing countries to access advanced technologies for peaceful purposes when appropriate safeguards were in place.

The Additional Secretary (UN&EC) also highlighted the risks posed to regional peace and stability due to the introduction of destabilizing systems such as missile defence programmes and inter-continental ballistic missiles. Pakistan was, however, committed to avoiding any kind of arms race in South Asia. Pakistan’s proposal on establishing Strategic Restraint Regime (SRR) in South Asia which covers nuclear and missile restraint remains on the table.

Pakistan, she said, believed that progress on the proposal through meaningful dialogue could promote peace and stability in the region.

The MTCR is a grouping of 35 states that seeks to prevent missile proliferation by adhering to common export policy guidelines related to missile technologies.

Pakistan has been engaging with the MTCR for several years. It has also been participating in the MTCR technical meetings and has also hosted several outreach missions in Islamabad.

Why aren't we formal part of MTCR and what possible benefits would it bring if we become full members of MTCR like india did recently?

Anyone?

The problem is Pakistan proposals are South Asia specific. But the biggest rival of India is on the east. So Pakistan's proposals are non starter.

 

[Max]

As MTCR operates on consensus, India can block Pakistan's entry any time.

you will never get chance to block us.. we never wanted MTCR..

 

[war&peace]

Pakistan should see if joining MTCR will benefit it, if so then Pakistan should join it too

 

[Max]

Ok but why then coordinating with MTCR.

We adhere to their guidelines..thats it..

if we are not part of program on anti proliferation, we are not part of problem either..

There is still mistrust, when Abdul qadeer khan was found selling nuclear secrets to Iran. After this black market incident, he damaged our reputation lot. We should have put him in prison , for to gain trust of world and as responsible nuclear state.

Pakistan should not join MTCR at this stage while we have recently tested Babur-III SLCM. First we need CMs of 2000km+ range to cover whole Indian terrority then we can think about joining MTCR.

do you really think AQ Khan alone can do proliferation? do you think IAEA is a fool? why they dont give a single fvck about AQ? bcoz they think state was involve in dealing with Gaddafi and AQ was made a scapegoat. anyways Past is past, when this happen Pakistan have no central authority back then, now we have SPD,

everyone proliferated techs we are not alone, Pakistan also brought tech from these Europeans

 

[Dalit]

MTCR won't benefit Pakistan. Better to stay out.

The Americans and Indians are all in a fix after the Babur III test. It has changed the rules of the game. This visit doesn't surprise me and might have a political angle to it.

Did report say that Pakistan wanted to enter MTCR??

PS: When you want to contribute at PDF, Plz dont Come Drunk! Thanks

the fact that proliferation did not result in anyone achieving nuclear capability was a big arse saver...secondly much of Pakistani designs proliferated were incomplete or tampered as Pakistan never genuinely wished any dictators to achieve nuclear capacity..it just wanted the money..sort of like trade fraud more than actual proliferation....and above all..the army..which directly over saw nuclear activities was never interested in proliferation..it was the brain child of Bhutto to advance his own sick and perverted ideas of Islamic socialism...!
