Pakistan does not adhere to the concept of no first use of nuclear weapons, National Command Adviser Lt. Gen. Khalid Ahmed Kidwai said. "Pakistan does not have a policy that prohibits the first use of nuclear weapons," he was quoted as saying by Dawn newspaper. It gives the country's leader the freedom to use nuclear capabilities," Kidwai said at a seminar dedicated to the anniversary of Pakistan's nuclear tests. The magazine noted that the adviser to the National Command made the statement in response to internal discussions in India over Pakistan's nuclear program. Officially, Pakistan and India is committed to the concept of no first use of nuclear weapons. According to open sources, these countries may have about 170 nuclear warheads.
