Fri Feb 14 08:02:39 UTC 2025: ## Pakistan Condemns US-India Military Tech Transfer, Cites Regional Imbalance

**ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN –** Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs voiced strong concerns Friday over the planned transfer of U.S. military technology to India, citing potential regional instability. The statement follows a joint declaration released after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, which detailed enhanced defense cooperation between the two nations across various domains, including air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace.

The Pakistani ministry criticized the joint statement as one-sided and misleading, accusing India of sponsoring terrorism and extrajudicial killings. The spokesperson further highlighted rising hate crimes against minorities in India and alleged non-compliance with UN Security Council resolutions. The statement also called on Pakistan to bring perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai and Pathankot attacks to justice and prevent its territory from being used for cross-border terrorism.

In a related development, President Trump announced the approval of the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, to India to face charges related to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Pakistan’s foreign ministry contends that these actions, coupled with increased military cooperation between India and the U.S., will further destabilize the region.
