Pakistan rejects Grossi's new draft proposal for NSG membership
Islamabad: The Pakistan Foreign Office has rejected the Grossi formula for accepting new individuals into the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) as `discriminatory` and unhelpful for progressing worldwide non-multiplication targets.
"This would be obviously prejudicial and would contribute nothing as far as facilitating the non-expansion destinations of the NSG," The Dawn cited Foreign Office representative Nafees Zakaria as saying.

He was delegated as a facilitator for talks among the NSG individuals after Seoul whole meeting of the 48-country atomic exchange cartel finished in a stalemate over enrollment applications from India and Pakistan.
The halt continued at the unprecedented entire held in Vienna a month ago.
This month he presented a two-page amended archive containing a nine-point proposition on considering the uses of India and Pakistan, both of whom are non-NPT nations.
As indicated by reports, to keep India from blocking Pakistan from joining the NPT, Grossi`s draft note recommends that "one non-NPT part state ought to achieve a comprehension not to piece agreement on participation for another non-NPT part state".
Zakaria said that Pakistan keeps on underscoring the basic for a non-biased criteria-based approach for the NSG enrollment of non-NPT states in a non-oppressive way.
The representative helped the NSG individuals to remember "the overwhelming obligation" they held on for regard to confirmation of non-NPT states.
"It is critical for the believability of the NSG and the eventual fate of the non-multiplication administration that the NSG be viewed when in doubt based association as opposed to a gathering which is driven by business and political contemplations that trump its non-expansion goals," he kept up.
