Pakistan and India would exchange the lists of their nuclear installations on January 1, under an agreement that prohibits the two countries attacking each other's nuclear installations, foreign office sources said on Wednesday.
According to the agreement, signed on December 31, 1988 and enforced on January 27, 1991, India and Pakistan have to inform each other on the first day of every year about the nuclear installations and facilities.
Even at the height of tensions some two years two years ago, both countries exchanged information on the nuclear installations and demonstrated their commitment against attack on each other's nuclear sites.
The first such exchange of lists took place on January 1, 1992.
This will be 14th consecutive year that the two countries will exchange the lists through diplomatic channels simultaneously in New Delhi and Islamabad.
The list usually includes the location of civilian nuclear power plants.
