A spokesman for the ISPR on Thursday strongly contradicted a news item issued by an international news agency, attributed to Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Mohammad Aziz Khan during his ongoing visit to Nigeria, regarding unspecified military assistance, including nuclear power to Nigeria.
The spokesman said General Mohammad Aziz Khan neither made any offer of Pakistan's assistance to Nigeria to acquire nuclear power, nor did he issue any such statement.
The spokesman emphasised that Pakistan's nuclear capability was solely for the purpose of deterrence of aggression against Pakistan. It fortified national security and it would never be in our national interest to share this technology in whatever form with any other country, he added.
Pakistan is a responsible nuclear state and it fully understands its obligation towards non-proliferation, the spokesman said.
He also requested the international and domestic media to refrain from such ludicrous and fabricated stories.
