US to sell 18 new F-16 jets to Pakistan



Washington, June 30 (Xinhua) The US government said it plans to sell 18 new F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan as part of an arms sale package worth up to $5 billion.

The deal was revealed in a US government's notice sent to the Congress, which will decide whether to approve the sale within 30 days. The notice said the sale is aimed to help Pakistan to modernise its arsenal.

Separately, US State Department spokesperson Julie Reside described the sale as 'part of an effort to broaden our strategic partnership with Pakistan and advance our national security and foreign policy interests in South Asia'.

'Pakistan is a long-term partner and major non-NATO ally,' she noted.

Reside stressed that the sale is nothing to do with the nuclear partnership that the US is building with India.

She also dismissed any suggestion that the sale could contribute to an arms race in South Asia and said a dialogue between India and Pakistan has already helped reduce tensions and provided greater stability in their region.
