Pakistan’s foreign office spokesman, Nafees Zakaria, said during his weekly briefing on Thursday that India has built a “secret nuclear city” where a stockpile of nuclear weapons has been accumulated, Pakistan's English-language newspaper  Dawn  reported. The spokesman added that India has been conducting tests on intercontinental missiles, adding that such acts are impacting the existing balance of power in the region. Zakaria also stressed that the Indian government should reciprocate the steps taken by Pakistan for peace in the region.   “Pakistan remains committed to the principles of peaceful existence with all of its neighbors, including India,” he said.
