India and Pakistan on Tuesday exchanged the lists of their installations and facilities, taking forward their 17-year-old confidence building measure in the field.

The lists were simultaneously handed over in New Delhi and in Islamabad by the respective countries under an agreement the two countries initiated on December 31, 1988.

The lists include places covered under the Agreement on the Prohibition of Attack against Nuclear Installations and Facilities between the two countries signed by the then Foreign Secretary K P S Menon and his Pakistani counterpart Humayun Khan.

As per the agreement, which entered into force on January 27, 1991, the two countries exchange the lists on January one every year to inform each other of nuclear installations and facilities to be covered under the pact.
