Pakistan seeks to boost nuke ties with China

Upset over a US decision to supply civilian nuclear technology to its rival India, Pakistan has shown interest in buying nuclear reactors from China as well as Western countries to meet its growing needs.

"A significant area of cooperation between Pakistan and China has been the harnessing of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes under international safeguards -- for the production of electricity," Aziz was quoted by the official Associated Press of Pakistan as telling a gathering in Islamabad.
