Currently, they are observing a moratorium on nuclear weapons tests, but have conveyed unwillingness to join CTBT and FMCT negotiations at the CD. Since 2016, they have been struggling for the full membership of the NSG. Islamabad was the advocator of creating NWFZ and currently supports the nuclear restraint regime in South Asia.
