Dr Baker Ahmed Siddiquee , Professor of Economics and an analyst on Arab World and Muslim countries in an interview with VOABangla Service urges upon all nuclear power to come under a single fold of pledging to secure their nuclear weapons. In a round table discussion Professor Siddiquee says that he welcomes the initiatives of the US President Barack Obama to hold this International Global Summit where the nations are required to reassure that their nuclear materials are secured and that they do not, in particular, fall into the hands of the terrorists organizations like the Al Qaida.
He, however, said that countries who have not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) on Nuclear Arms, like India , Pakistan , North Korea and also unknown Nuclear Powers like Israel need to assure that the nuclear weapons are not proliferated widely .
He also talked about the smuggling of nuclear grade uranium from Pakistan to other countries but insisted that in order to check these types of dangerous smugglings one need to come under NPT so that organizations like IAEA can investigate into the matters.Talking about allegations that Iran is going to build nuclear weapons Professor Siddiqui says that the issue of Iran needs to be judged in regional context.Unless Israel is brought into the equation of the Nuclear Weapons , the problems about Iran would be difficult to resolve.
