US To Push For Asian Moratorium On Nuclear Weapons Says Rice

Washington: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Wednesday the United States would push for a South Asian moratorium on nuclear weapons production to ease tensions between India and Pakistan.

"We would like to see, obviously, in the regional sense in the relationship between India and Pakistan and others, a look at regional moratorium on fissile material production," Rice told a Congressional hearing on a landmark US-India civilian nuclear deal.

"We've made it very clear that we would encourage that; that we would encourage India and Pakistan to look at their nuclear relationship and the way that in some of the earlier days people were concerned about safety and security between the US and Soviet arsenals," she said.

Rice was replying to Democratic Senator John Kerry on whether the United States could offer "real leadership" in trying to bring together the nuclear-armed neighbours, neither of whom are signatories to the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
