Abstract
The region of South Asia is vulnerable due to nuclear powers of India and
Pakistan. Former launched its program in reaction to China whereas latter
followed the suit in Indian reaction. Pakistan undertook atomic explosion
as India again tested its nuclear devices in May 1998. The atomic
explosions in the region paved the way for international reaction. Japan
being first and last victim of nuclear weapons also came forward and made
efforts to restrain Pakistan from following action of India. After explosion
by Pakistan, international community including Japan condemned nuclear
race in South Asia. Pakistan had to face Japanese reaction at various levels.
It seems that Japan is also not satisfied with justification of Pakistan
regarding Pakistan-North Korea nuclear cooperation. However nuclear
proliferation is not restricted only to Pakistan.
