 The treaty established a mutual understanding regarding the development of nuclear arsenals and aimed to prevent accidental or unauthorized use of nuclear weapons. The Lahore Declaration imposed greater responsibility on the leadership of both nations to avoid a nuclear arms race, as well as both unconventional and conventional conflicts. This event was significant in Pakistan's history, fostering an atmosphere of mutual confidence between the two countries. During a widely publicized televised press conference in both nations, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee signed the agreement. This was the second nuclear control treaty between India and Pakistan, committing both sides to uphold the first treaty, the NNAA, which was signed in 1988. The Lahore Declaration was swiftly ratified by the parliaments of both countries and took effect that same year.

+The '''Lahore Declaration''' marked a significant breakthrough in improving the historically strained bilateral relations between India and Pakistan, particularly in the wake of the nuclear tests conducted by both countries in May 1998. It gained substantial popularity among the public in Pakistan and was positively received by the international community. However, this momentum was short-lived, as relations deteriorated following the infiltration of Pakistani forces into Kargil, which ultimately triggered the 1999 Indo-Pakistan War in May 1999.
