Today's exchange, which took place simultaneously through diplomatic channels in Islamabad and New Delhi, is the 12th occasion where the two countries have undertaken such an exercise. While the non-attack Agreement was signed in 1988, it came into force in 1991. ``Under the agreement, the two countries are to inform each other on January 1 of every calendar year of the nuclear installations and facilities to be covered by the Agreement. The first such exchange of lists took place on January 1, 1992,'' a Foreign Office statement said. B. Muralidhar Reddy reports from Islamabad: The Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman and Additional Secretary, Aziz Ahmed Khan, handed over at the Foreign Office here the Pakistani list to the First Secretary in the Indian High Commission, Vikram Misri. Similarly, the Indian list was handed over to the Pakistani High Commission representative at the Foreign Office in New Delhi. Even at the height of tensions at the end of last year, both the countries exchanged information on the nuclear installations and demonstrated their commitment against attack on each other's nuclear installations much to the relief of the rest of the world.
