1998, declaring,
'We never wanted to participate in this nuclear race'

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced in a televised statement that
Pakistan had conducted 5 underground nuclear tests in Baluchistan, a region of Pakistan near its border with Afghanistan.

India and Pakistan remain nuclear states outside the regulation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and, also, tense neighbors.
