Sartaj Aziz, the Pakistan Prime Minister's advisor on foreign affairs, said on Tuesday that Pakistan has 'successfully' blocked India's bid for membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).

"We have been making successful efforts against India's Nuclear Suppliers Group membership," said Aziz just before the plenary session of the 48-nation NSG in Seoul this week, where India and Pakistan's applications for entry will be discussed.

Aziz said in a statement that Pakistan has a strong case to gain NSG membership on merit and a non-discriminatory basis, according to the Hindustan Times.
