Its an open secret that India compelled Pakistan to go nuclear. Before going nuclear, Pakistan offered various proposals to India.
Pakistan brought a proposal before the United Nations for a nuclear weapon-free zone in South Asia. To prevent South Asia from a nuclear arm race, Pakistan offered various proposals to India. In 1978 Pakistan proposed to India a joint Indo-Pakistan declaration renouncing the acquisition and manufacture of nuclear weapons. During very next year, Pakistan proposed to India mutual inspections by India and Pakistan of nuclear facilities.
Most importantly in 1979, Pakistan offered simultaneous adherence to the NPT by India and Pakistan. In the same year, Pakistan proposed to India simultaneous acceptance of full-scope IAEA safeguards too. Unfortunately, all efforts made by Pakistan were not welcomed internationally. In June 1991, Pakistan again proposed a five-nation conference, which was later expanded to include permanent members of the UN Security Council, to discuss conventional arms control and confidence-building measures and promotion of nuclear restraint. In 1997, Pakistan’s proposal for mutual and equal restraint by Pakistan and India on the development of nuclear and ballistic missiles was also refused.
