Page 35 from FCO 372113 - the Nuclear policy of Pakistan 1978
Description
The document discusses the UK's action taken with the US State Department regarding nuclear exports in response to previous telegrams. The US is considering making parallel approaches to other governments, focusing on the reprocessing aspect of the problem. They plan to make representations in the same capitals as the UK, possibly including Brussels and Madrid but excluding Vienna and possibly Canberra. The US will draw attention to Pakistan's interest in a nuclear explosives option without disclosing sensitive information shared by the UK.
The UK and the US hope to issue instructions early next week, with a copy sent to the US Embassy in London for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). The document emphasizes the cooperation and coordination between the UK and the US in addressing the issue of nuclear exports related to Pakistan's nuclear program.
