Abdul Sattar was the Foreign Secretary of Pakistan. In the interview he describes the 1971 Indo-Pakistani war and Pakistans reaction to Indias nuclear test explosion in May 1974. He also details Pakistans attempts to get assistance with their nuclear energy program from France through the International Atomic Energy Agency. He describes Pakistans attitude toward the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the international communitys views of Pakistans nuclear program. He asserts that, despite claims to the contrary, Pakistan has not committed any violations to international non-proliferation laws. He states that Pakistan does not have the capability of creating a nuclear bomb because it has neither the plutonium nor enriched uranium needed.
