Addressing the 47th Annual Gen- eral Conference of International Atomic En- ergy Agency (IAEA), held in Vienna, Austria, from 16-19 September, 2003, he said that the embargoes and restrictions on transfer of advanced technologies is hampering the In- ternational Atomic Energy Agency’s efforts to transform the developing countries from de- pendence to self-reliance. Mr. Parvez Butt stressed that an important requirement of Pakistan, as a developing country, is access to equipment and material from the industrially advanced countries. However, various embargoes and restric- tions on the availability of such equipment act as an impediment in accelerating economic development of many countries, which have attained a certain level of advancement with the IAEA’s Technical Cooperation Pro- Mr. Parvez Butt, Chairman PAEC, addressing the 47th Annual General Conference of the IAEA in gramme. “This policy has not been result Vienna, Austria, on 17 September, 2003 as Head of the Delegation from Pakistan oriented in the past nor it would be in the future.

  • MIT Project on Promoting Nuclear Stability in South Asia Subrata Ghoshroy Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
    ________________________________________________________________________ PRESENTATION SUMMARIES ________________________________________________________________________ MIT Project on Promoting Nuclear Stability in South Asia Subrata Ghoshroy Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA South Asia continues to be a volatile region marked by political instability, terrorism, and a shortage of democracy. All of the countries in the region – India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Myanmar - have varying degrees of continuing violence, and social and political instability. Although India maintains a solid democratic posture, it is challenged by armed insurgencies in certain parts. Pakistan is in the midst of a transition toward a multi-party democracy. Also, the unresolved Kashmir issue continues to both hamper genuine progress in the development of friendly relations between the two important countries in the subcontinent and take its toll both in terms of human lives and resources. U.S. President Bill Clinton a few years ago described South Asia as the most dangerous place on earth – an allusion primarily to the presence of nuclear weapons in the region during the so-called Kargil crisis in 1999. A major catastrophe was avoided and tensions have abated a great deal since then. In the wake of the tragic earthquake in October 2005 in Muzaffarabad, which was the capital of the Pakistan-controlled region of Kashmir, both countries cooperated in providing humanitarian relief to the thousands of victims – many of whom had close relatives in the Indian part of Kashmir. In the past several years, progress has also been made in the bilateral dialog between Pakistan and India on nuclear confidence building measures. A significant agreement was reached on a pre-flight notification of ballistic missile launches.
