Islamabad, Oct. 22 (TNS): At the United Nations, Pakistan has voiced concern over the growing transfers of conventional armaments in volatile regions saying it has potential to jeopardize regional balance.
This was stated by Pakistan’s permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva Farukh Amil while speaking at a meeting of the General Assembly’s Disarmament and International Security Committee.
He said the reflection of the same troubling trend is mirrored particularly in South Asia where one state’s military spending grossly out-shadows all others.
Ambassador Farukh Amil said Pakistan is committed to the establishment of strategic stability in South Asia.
He said Pakistan neither wants, nor is it engaged in an arms race in the region.
