As a founding member of the IAEA, Pakistan ardently supports the Agency’s role in promoting the peaceful uses of nuclear technology in accordance with its motto “Atom for Peace and Development”.

Harnessing nuclear technology is a priority for Pakistan for the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals and addressing poverty. Today, we are using nuclear technologies and applications in Pakistan in diverse fields, such as, power generation, health, agriculture, industry and environmental protection.

We view nuclear energy as a reliable, consistent and carbon free source of electricity generation. Our efforts to expand nuclear power generation and to increase its share in the national energy mix are driven by the fact that we are not only an energy deficient country, but also one of the most vulnerable countries to the impact of climate change.
