Denying that Pakistan was interfering with the Indo-US nuclear deal, Pakistan's envoy to the US has said it was ready to agree for a Washington-monitored moratorium on fissile material production with New Delhi in order to get a similar agreement.
"...we were supportive of a non-aggression pact in the past, we were supportive of a nuclear weapons-free zone in the past, we were supportive of a restraint regime; and today, if bilaterally, the US can facilitate a moratorium on fissile material production or on testing, we are very happy to be part of that," retired General Jahangir
Karamat said.

He said Pakistan's criticism of the US-India deal does not amount to interference. "We are not interfering, we are merely putting on the table that we also have an energy requirement and that we would very much like that the US has a package approach to South Asia, so that Pakistan is not left out," the outgoing envoy said in his address to Association of Physicians of Pakistani descent in North America in Washington on Sunday.
