TOKYO: Pakistan’s former prime minister Benazir Bhutto said in an interview with a Japanese newspaper published yesterday that Pakistan bought long-range missile technology from North Korea following a visit she made to Pyongyang in 1993.

But in the interview in London with the Asahi Shimbun, she denied suspicions that Pakistan provided the Stalinist state with nuclear arms technology in exchange for the missile expertise.

“Through my visit to North Korea in December 1993, we managed to obtain long-range missile technology,” Bhutto was quoted as saying in a Japanese-language translation. “We did not obtain them in exchange for nuclear technology. We bought them with money,” she said.

But the former premier added she did not approve of missile development on the basis of the North Korean technology. It is widely believed that a series of Pakistan’s Ghauri missiles are based on North Korea’s Nodong missile. Bhutto told Asahi that she had not approved of any sales of nuclear technology while in office.
