Pakistan has been a hopeful entrant into the NSG regime since May 2016 and aspires to gain access to nuclear technology and expertise, as well as recognition and acknowledgement of its de facto nuclear status by the international community by becoming a member of the NSG. Pakistan has been lobbying for the cause and watching closely developments in the issue. This round-table, organized by CISS, aimed to probe the developments in the 27th Plenary of the NSG, its implications for the prospect of Pakistan’s membership in the regime, and the need for increased engagement with the international community regarding Pakistan’s nuclear credentials.
