Yeltsin expresses concern over tensions in South Asia
The Russian president, Boris Yeltsin, has expressed concern over the nuclear tests by India and Pakistan, and has called on Delhi to sign the NuclearNon-Proliferation Treaty.
He made his comments during a telephone conversation with the Indian prime minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee.
Mr Yeltsin said the nuclear rivalry between India and Pakistan went far beyond regional boundaries and created an extremely dangerous precedent for the spread of such weapons.
