Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari said he was in favour of a no-first-use policy on nuclear weapons, a position already held by neighbouring India.
“Most definitely,” Zardari said Saturday evening via videolink from his home in Pakistan, when asked whether his country would pledge not to use a nuclear weapon first. “I am against nuclear warfare altogether.”
Zardari, who was speaking to a conference organised by an Indian daily newspaper, also said India and Pakistan should work on a region-specific treaty on nuclear use.
“Let’s sign a South Asia non-nuclear treaty and I can say this with full confidence — that I’m sure I can get my parliament to agree upon that. Can you say the same?”

The two neighbours have taken some steps to reduce the risks from their arsenals — including setting up a telephone hotline aimed at preventing an accidental conflict.
In October 2005, the two agreed to notify one another in advance on ballistic missile tests.

FUNNY….. the nuclear issue has popped up again………..
like i keep saying…. the bombs are made…. they will kill again……
anyone that thinks, nuclear weapons will never be used to kill, is not living in their right state of mind….
LET me remind you….. these nuc’s can go off by mistake, an accident….
these bombs are ready to be launched…..
it’s just a matter of time…. need a crazy leader, like hitler to come along……
Don’t think for one second that the world will not get another crazy leader…. there has been many crazy leaders in history and there will continue to be untill the end of the world….
