While giving an exclusive interview to Axios on HBO, PM said that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal is simply “a deterrent to protect ourselves" adding that he was "not sure" whether it was growing.

"As far as I know, it's not an offensive thing. Any country which has a neighbour seven times its size would be worried."

Imran Khan further stated that he is completely against nuclear arms.

"I always have been. We've had three wars against India and ever since we have had a nuclear deterrent, there has been no war between the two countries. We've had border skirmishes but we've never faced war. The moment there is a settlement on Kashmir, the two neighbors would live as civilized people. We will not need to have nuclear deterrents,” he said.
