Sharif to attend N-summit in US

WASHINGTON: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will represent Pakistan at a nuclear summit in March this year when the outgoing Obama administration would try to reach some understanding with recognised and unrecognised nuclear states to control proliferation, official sources told Dawn.

 

Earlier this week, Pakistan attended a sherpa (preparatory) meeting for the summit in San Francisco. Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry and Ambas­sador Jalil Abbas Jilani represented Pakistan at the meeting.

US President Barack Obama will host the fourth and the final Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) on April 1 in Washington.

Leaders from 50 countries and international organisa­tions will participate. Chinese President Xi Jinping and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also be among the leaders expected to attend the meeting.
