It was done simultaneously through diplomatic channels in New Delhi and Islamabad.
"India and Pakistan today exchanged, through diplomatic channels, simultaneously at New Delhi and Islamabad, the list of nuclear installations and facilities covered under the agreement on the prohibition of attack against nuclear installations and facilities," the MEA said.
The exchange of the list came amid frosty ties between the two countries over the Kashmir issue as well as cross-border terrorism.
The agreement was signed on Dec. 31, 1988 and entered into force on Jan. 27, 1991.
The pact mandates the two countries to inform each other of the nuclear installations and facilities to be covered under the agreement on Jan. 1 of every calendar year.
"This is the 34th consecutive exchange of such lists between the two countries, the first one having taken place on Jan. 1, 1992," the MEA said in a statement.
