The Ghauri (a North Korean Nodong 1) has a 1,500-km-range, the Ghaznavi (apparently a Chinese M-11 missile alreday flown by Pakistan under the Shaheen designation) can deliver warheads to 290 km and the Abdali (presumably an indigenously developed solid-fueled missile) to 180 km. All three missiles can reportedly carry nuclear weapons. The Ghauri 3 is suspected to be a local version of North Korea’s Pekdosan 1 (U.S. designation: Taepo Dong 1) intermediate range ballistic missile.

Pakistan continued to acquire sophisticated M-9 missile components from China and the Nodong missile from North Korea, which utilizes Chinese-based technology
“Pakistan has essentially no indigenous production capability;”:hehe: says John Pike of the Federation of American Scientists. “North Korea has developed the [missile] program, Iran is attempting to finish it, and Pakistan is helping them pay for it.”
Pakistan has only bought missiles from China and north Korea.

Pakistan’s limited scientific and industrial base has forced it to rely on continuous outside help. Pakistan possesses both the 300 km M-11 (Hatf III) missile acquired from China and the 1000 km Nodong (Ghauri) missile bought from North Korea. Pakistan has also imported plants to manufacture these missiles.

I have studied sometimes back the hard-cash starved North Korean’s No-Dong Missile and I feel that the performance of Ghauri as it then appeared in the press is fairly identical to the North Korean missile, and I thought Ghauri (and even the Iranian Shahab series of equal range) are in fact derivatives or reverse engineered copies of the North Korean stuff
There you go. A PAKISTANI expert says Ghauri = NoDong

Indian build-up would raise tensions and might force Pakistan to weaponize (make combat ready) the M-11 missiles it bought from China.
All links clearly say Pak bought missiles, not share technology.
Here’s a Jehadi Pak “patriot” site.

More recently, the A.Q. Khan Research Laboratories, which is also responsible for Pakistan’s uranium bomb program, has imported and tested the North Korean Nodong missile under the name Ghauri. Imports of the longer range Taepodong missiles may also be under consideration.

The Ghauri, now under production, is based on a North Korean adaptation of the old Soviet Scud, while the Shaheen is thought to be a variant of the Chinese M-9.

Pakistan possesses both the 300 km M-11 (Hatf III) missile acquired from China and the 1000 km Nodong (Ghauri) missile bought from North Korea. Pakistan has also imported plants to manufacture these missiles. 
The most recent development in Pakistan’s ballistic missile program was the flight testing of the Ghauri (Hatf-V) missile in April 1998. The Ghauri is liquid-fueled and is Pakistan’s imported version of the North Korean Nodong, itself a fancy Scud.
US intelligence agencies were reported to suspect that the missile tested was not an enhanced Ghauri but one of six Nodong missiles that Pakistan is believed to have bought from North Korea.
In passing it is interesting to note that Pakistan flew its direct copy No-Dong missile (Ghauri-II) on April 6, 1998 some three months before Iran’s Shahab-3. The question is why and what does this imply? It would seem to imply that Iran reworked the North Korean No-Dong design while Pakistan bought the whole package missile and its (TEL) Transport Erector Launcher :lol

Despite this background, the April 6, 1998 test generally surprised the international community for three reasons:
(1) No other tests of the Ghauri were previously known to have been carried out.
(2) Pakistan did not announce that a flight test would take place or alert international aviation authorities.
(3) Pakistan was not thought to possess the indigenous capability to develop an MRBM.
As a result, most outside observers and analysts did not find credible Pakistan’s claim that the Ghauri was an indigenously developed system as opposed to an imported design. :lol :lol
A subsequent report on April 30, 1998 by NBC News, as quoted by The News International Pakistan, amplified the New York Times report by stating that US officials now believed that North Korea may have sold as many as 12 No Dongs to Pakistan and the means to manufacture more. The Washington Post reported on May 14 that North Korea earned “millions of dollars” from this sale to Pakistan.
This is the Google cache of CIAONET., the CIA website.
The Ghauri missile launched by Pakistan has been widely perceived as a missile of North Korean origin not only by the Indian experts but also by several Western experts. But this has not come all of a sudden. On March 7, 1996, a North Korean vessel was seized by Taiwan. This was carrying 15 metric tonnes of ammonia perchlorate. The final destination of the consignment was the Space and Upper Atmospheric Research Commission (SUPARCO) of Pakistan, though it had to be routed through Hong Kong.
