ISLAMABAD, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan has dismantled the nuclear black market network and no individual associated with it enjoys any official status nor has access to any strategic facility, said the Pakistani foreign ministry in a statement here on Saturday.

    "We have investigated the matter and shared relevant findings with the IAEA, which has appreciated our cooperation," it said.

    The foreign ministry said that Pakistan remained committed to the objective of non-proliferation.

    "We have put in place necessary legislative, regulatory and administrative measures to ensure effective export controls and to prevent the possibility of proliferation from Pakistan," it said.

    "As regards the court judgment of 6 February 2009, the government remains committed to the due process of law," the statement said.

    The statement came one day after the Islamabad High Court freed nuclear scientist Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan after a five-year house arrest.

    Khan was put under house arrest in February 2003 after he was produced on the state-run television to make a statement that he had been involved in illegal transfer of nuclear technology outside Pakistan.

    The United States, United Kingdom, France and India have expressed concerns, even worries, over the Pakistani court decision to release Khan.
