During the visit, they received a briefing on Pakistan’s perspective on Arms Control, Disarmament, and Nuclear Non-Proliferation as well as the imperative of unhindered access to dual-use technologies for peaceful socio-economic applications, a press release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday said. The Fellows will also be visiting different laboratories, globally acknowledged reference libraries and state-of-the-art facilities at DESTO and NIH. At SUPARCO, the participants will get acquainted with Pakistan’s space programme and its utility for the socio-economic development of the country. The UN Programme of Fellowships on Disarmament was launched by the General Assembly at its First Special Session devoted to Disarmament in 1978. It is for the first time that Pakistan is hosting such an international study tour for UN Disarmament Fellows.
