Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program began in the 1970s, when the country’s leader at the time Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, declared that Pakistan would pursue the development of nuclear weapons. The program faced many obstacles, including international sanctions and the difficulties of acquiring the technology and materials needed to develop nuclear weapons. However, Pakistan persevered and eventually succeeded in developing its nuclear weapons. The credit goes to Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan for achieving this milestone for Pakistan.
