Pakistan Prime Minister will travel to The Hague to attend a nuclear summit next week during which he will seek "non-discriminatory" access to high-end technology for the country's atomic power plants.

Sharif will lead the Pakistani delegation to the Third Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) on March 24-25.

In line with the Government Pakistan's commitment to bridging the country's energy deficit, the Prime Minister will seek non-discriminatory access to nuclear technology for Pakistan for peaceful uses, including nuclear power generation, a statement released by the Foreign Office here said.

Ever since India signed a nuclear deal with US, Pakistan has been seeking a similar agreement for it.
 

Like the first two Summits, Nuclear Security Summit 2014 aims to promote nuclear security through voluntary national actions and international cooperation.

The Pakistan Prime Minister will address the gathering of world leaders on March 24.
