Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee said Monday that India has taken serious note of the clandestine export of nuclear technology from Pakistan.

At a press conference in Lucknow, the capital city of Uttar Pradesh, Vajpayee said he is confident that under the supervision of the United Nations, a system will be evolved to ensure that there is no room for such proliferation.

"It is a serious issue," Vajpayee said when asked about the secret export of nuclear technology by Pakistan's nuclear bomb scientist A Q Khan to foreign countries and the possibility of this getting into the hands of terrorist groups like al Qaeda, thePress Trust of India reported.

"On the one side, non-proliferation talks are going on. on the other, clandestinely transfer of nuclear technology to other countries has taken place. We have taken serious note of it, and we are taking all steps necessary to safeguard the country's security," he said.

Vajpayee arrived in Lucknow on Sunday to pay a two-day visit for election campaign.
