The validity of the exiting agreement was expiring today. The 2007 agreement was signed in the presence of the then External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and his Pakistani counterpart Khurshid M Kasuri in New Delhi to rule out the nuclear accidents related risk.
“In accordance with Article 8 of the Agreement between the Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on Reducing the Risk of Accidents Relating to Nuclear Weapons, both countries have agreed to extend the Agreement for a further period of five years,” a press statement issued by the MEA said here.
