Pakistan is ready to share information and results of the nuclear investigation with international society as they assist in achieving the goal of non-proliferation, a spokesman said. "Mindful of our international responsibilities and obligations, we are fully abiding by international non-proliferation standards," a local English-language Newspaper the Dawn Sunday quoted Foreign Office spokesman Masood Khan as saying Sunday. "We will continue to work with concerned states and international organizations, especially IAEA, to put a stop to proliferation," he said. "We are ready to share information and results of our investigations inasmuch as they assist in achieving this objective," said the spokesman. US Secretary of State Colin Powell, who made a telephone conversation with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, asked Pakistan to share the details. After a two-month long investigation, the country's top nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan admitted to transferring nuclear secret abroad and accepted the full responsibility a couple of days ago. The president of Pakistan Thursday decided to pardon Qadeer Khan and tried to give an end to the nuclear scandal.
