Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mumtaz Baloch responds to revelations by a White House official regarding ‘emerging threat’

The U.S. is committed to maintain the global nonproliferation regime,” said Deputy Spokesperson Patel. “However, we have been clear and consistent about our concerns with Pakistan’s long-range ballistic missile program.

Pakistan's Foreign Ministry on Saturday dismissed as unfounded and "devoid of rationality" assertions by a senior U.S. official that its missile programme could eventually pose a threat to the United States.

Pakistan dismissed the United States' claims that its missile program poses a threat beyond South Asia, including to the US, cautioning that such accusations damage bilateral ties. The country reiterated its right to develop defense capabilities while emphasizing its commitment to regional peace.
