Pakistan is concerned after US President Donald Trump said he wants to give India F-35 stealth fighter jets. During a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trump mentioned this plan, saying it would help strengthen military sales to India, starting this year with billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment.
Pakistan fears that giving advanced military technology to India could upset the balance of power in the region and make peace harder to achieve in South Asia. Officials from Pakistan called on the world to recognize the true situation in the area and not take sides.
A spokesperson from Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that these military steps create an imbalance and threaten peace. They urged international partners to look at the issues in a balanced way.
In response to Trump’s comments, India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated that while there was a talk about F-35 jets, no official process for purchasing them has started yet.
During their meeting, Trump and Modi also talked about a new project called the Autonomous Systems Industry Alliance (ASIA). This is meant to strengthen how they work together on defense, especially in new technologies for security. They plan to do more military exercises together and improve how they share important information about security.
Trump also announced the extradition of a man named Tahawwur Rana, who is accused of being involved in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks. He will be sent back to India to face justice.
