Pakistan rebukes US-India statement on terrorism, citing own efforts and concern over arms sales.

Pakistan criticized a joint statement by the US and India, which called on Pakistan to combat terrorism and bring to justice those involved in past attacks against India. The Foreign Office spokesperson, Shafqat Ali Khan, labeled the statement as one-sided and misleading, adding that it ignored Pakistan's counterterrorism efforts and India's non-compliance with UN resolutions. Pakistan also expressed concern about the US increasing arms sales to India, fearing it would upset the regional power balance.
