 WASHINGTON: Pakistan Ambassador in United States Jehangir Karamat has said Pakistan
will either have to acquire its own missile defence system or increase its missile capabilities if the United States provides a missile defence system to India.On Wednesday, the US and India signed a 10-year defence pact that entails joint weapons production, cooperation on missile defence and the transfer of technology. "Some elements of this agreement do concerns us," said Karamat indicating that the defence pact signed this week does have a provision for bilateral cooperation in the field of missile defence and joint weapons production. "This will be a new element in South Asia. Although India has been talking about missile defence for sometime, the pact could lead to a transfer of missile systems", he said. This will disturb balance of power in the region and unleash new arms race, he added.
