Overview
- Officials exchanged the nuclear installation lists simultaneously in New Delhi and Islamabad under the 1988 pact that prohibits attacks on each other’s nuclear facilities.
- Alongside the nuclear lists, both sides shared updated details of detainees: India reported 391 civil prisoners and 33 fishermen, while Pakistan reported 58 civil prisoners and 199 fishermen.
- Pakistan’s Foreign Office said it handed the Indian High Commission a list of 257 Indian prisoners held in its jails, reflecting the combined total of civil detainees and fishermen it reported.
- India urged early release and repatriation of detainees, requested immediate consular access for 35 individuals believed to be Indian, and pressed for expedited return of 167 who have completed sentences.
- The nuclear pact functions without verification and does not cover weapons or missile sites, underscoring its narrow focus on protecting declared facilities even as a brief Jaishankar–Sadiq handshake in Dhaka offered rare contact.
