There was an inadvertent error in Para 12 of the news report titled: 'Timetable for peace talks may be revised' which appeared in Dawn on Monday (May 17).

It should have read: "Notably the first, and so far the only, nuclear-related agreement between Pakistan and India was negotiated under the governments of President Gen Ziaul Haq and Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, whose spouse Sonia Gandhi is now set to form the new government in India.

The bilateral agreement on 'Prohibition of attack against nuclear installations and facilities' was signed by the two foreign secretaries on December 31, 1988, when Benazir Bhutto was the prime minister in Pakistan."
