NEW YORK: Pakistan has expressed deep concern over the continued supply of sensitive technologies and advanced weapons to one state in South Asia –an obvious reference to India, adding it was fueling instability in the tension-ridden region.
Pakistani delegate Gul Qaiser told the General Assembly’s Disarmament and International Security Committee “At a time when the entire world is besieged by wars, when cooperation is most needed to bolster peace-building efforts, some countries continue to prioritize financing wars over pursuing peaceful solutions,”.
APP cited Gul Qaiser as saying that efforts such as the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) have obtained only limited success in regulating conventional arms.
The Pakistani delegate said, “In South Asia, one State is being supplied with sensitive technologies and advanced weapons leading to destabilizing accumulations despite the fact that it adopts hostile policies towards its neighbours and remains in defiance of multiple UNSC resolutions,”.
