Pakistan emphasis that without addressing the existing stocks of fissile material and Pakistan's core strategic interests, any negotiation on FMCT will be futile and would lead to instability and turmoil in South Asia.

Pakistani position on the issue underlines that its position on FMCT is critical to maintain strategic stability in the region which otherwise would get disturbed.
