We have a safe and good command-and-control system. Nobody can take away any nuclear weapon from Pakistan.

We were able and we had a plan to launch nuclear test in 1984, but then President General Zia had opposed the move.

When India conducted nuclear tests in 1974, I wrote a letter to then-Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto from Holland and offered my services for Pakistani nuclear programme.

I had no political background. That's why PM Bhutto gave me the responsibility of the nuclear programme, and we acquired nuclear capability in a span of mere six years, which was a great milestone.

There was a general consensus to go for the nuclear test. The whole nation wanted it, and it was done properly.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, like other countries in the region, rejects the acquisition of nuclear weapons by anyone, especially nuclear weapons in the Middle East region. We hope that such weapons will be banned or eliminated from the region by every country in the region.

I personally believe that any country that has a nuclear program should conform to international regulations and should have international regulatory bodies that check to make sure that any nuclear program moves in the right direction.

I hope that none of the countries in the Middle East are planning anything but the peaceful utilization of nuclear energy.

I believe nuclear energy in Jordan will be done in such a way where it is a public-private partnership so everyone can see exactly what's going on.
