In addition, Pakistan has been actively participating and contributing in the IAEA efforts to promote nuclear security. Pakistan is not only a beneficiary of nuclear security cooperation with the IAEA but has also been offering various services to the Agency in this area in the form of expertise and participation in different IAEA advisory groups and committees. Pakistan also regularly hosts various international and regional courses in collaboration with the IAEA.”
