In light of the recent nuclear tensions involving Pakistan and India, U.S. President Barack Obama met up with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Thursday, at the White House in Washington in the hopes of limiting Pakistan's nuclear weapon program.

Although the talks are not final yet as the U.S. and Pakistan continue to be in cooperation to finally establish the steps towards peace between Pakistan and India, Washington has, however, urged Pakistan to avoid any further developments in their nuclear programme since risks and instability may happen, Reuters reports.

The U.S. government furthermore stated during the meeting that they are requesting for Pakistan to finally make a unilateral declaration of "restraint" in light of developing their new nuclear weapons systems, including small tactical nuclear weapons, Reuters reports.

Obama "stressed the importance of avoiding any developments that might invite increased risk to nuclear safety, security, or strategic stability," a White House statement said as quoted by Reuters.

However, despite the continuous requests and talks, Pakistan remains to be actively preparing in case India makes a move and attacks Pakistan. Meanwhile, the talks also led to Obama asking for Sharif's active cooperation and commitment to yet another emerging problem in the Afghan peace process.

Apparently, Obama, who's concerned with the previously reported American hostages by militants in the region, also asked Sharif to assist in assuring the safe return of the hostages specifically the American couple kidnapped in Afganistan back in 2012.

"For their safety and security, we are not going to offer specific details beyond the fact that we are aware of a small number of American hostages in this region," a senior administration official  said as quoted by Reuters.

Obama's administration furthermore believes that Pakistan can greatly help to finally end the Afgan war. "Obama knows that a political solution is needed to end the Afghan war, and for that you need help from the Pakistanis," Michael Kugelman of the Wilson Center stated.

Meanwhile, the talks also resulted in the U.S. and Pakistan agreeing to cooperate in new efforts for Pakistan as it is in need to double its electricity in over 15 years. The two also agreed to a $250 million loan guarantee for transmission and distribution, USA Today reports.

Furthermore, U.S. and Pakistan pledged to work together to provide access to schooling for 200,000 Pakistani girls. Not only that, the U.S. Agency for International Development pledges to spend $70 million for the initiative.
