He also added that Pakistan will always support Arab and Islamic issues and confirmed that the Islamic countries have a joint security as is confirmed by the Organization of the Islamic Conference's charter.

Concerning his country's nuclear cooperation with the Arab countries, the Pakistani ambassador said that the Arab countries do not have any nuclear capabilities.
