ISLAMABAD (Kyodo) Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari said Saturday that since Japan is negotiating a deal with India to cooperate on peaceful uses for nuclear energy, the same cooperation should be extended to his country.
"If Japan is willing to cooperate with India in nuclear technology and (is) giving nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, I do not see any reason why we should not deserve the same," Zardari said in an interview with the Japanese media on the eve of his departure for a three-day visit to Japan.
"I do not know what questions would be raised during discussion. It depends," he said when asked if he will raise the question of nuclear technology cooperation during the visit.
