Pakistan and India on Sunday exchanged lists of their nuclear facilities, a requirement every Jan. 1 under an accord in which they promised not to attack each other's nuclear installations. "The governments of Pakistan and India today exchanged lists of their respective nuclear installations and facilities" under the 1988 agreement, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said in a statement Sunday. Pakistan handed over its list of nuclear sites to an Indian diplomat in Islamabad, while a Pakistani diplomat received India's list in New Delhi, the statement said. Both countries conducted nuclear weapons tests in 1998. In January 2004, the two sides began a series of negotiations aimed at resolving the Kashmir issue and other disputes, according to a report of The Associated Press. Top foreign ministry officials from Pakistan and India are to meet Jan. 17-18 in New Delhi for talks on Kashmir and other issues. Railway officials are also slated to meet in New Delhi on Jan. 5-6 to discuss reopening a railroad link between Munabao in India and Pakistan's border town of Khokhrapar.
