The story of Pakistan's nuclear program

 The story of Pakistan's nuclear program

pak atomic

It was October 1954.


On the same day when the Prime Minister of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Bogra met US President Eisenhower in the White House and Pakistan joined the US Atom for Peace project in the field of nuclear energy. It announced the establishment of the Atomic Energy Commission for Research and Development.

This was the beginning of Pakistan's nuclear program or actually, it was a pledge by Pakistan that it would not use nuclear energy for the production of weapons.

I remember that at that time there was a lot of discussion on this issue in Pakistan because according to many observers, the real goal of President Eisenhower's Atomic for Peace plan was to deprive all other countries of the world, except the United States, of the ability to have nuclear weapons. It was to keep them and prevent them from developing nuclear weapons by banning them.
