‘Pak, India need to cut defence spend’

[Alpha1]

Nawaz get a life.We will never cut our defence budget, India can do whatever they think is right for them and can spend as much they want.

Both countries should decrease their budget but that is only possible if Both countries agree upon mutual disarmament!

[DilHaiHindushtani]

Pakistan needs to understand, our threat is china not Pakistan. so don't worry...

 

[Agnostic_Indian]

Pakistan asking India to cut down is similar to India asking china to cut down the defence spending.

Get America to cut down their defence budget.

Joking aside, there is no way we are going to cut our defence budget.

We're already spending amongst the lowest in terms of percentage of GDP. In per capita terms we are spending amongst the least in the world.

 

[SHAMK9]

what If our Enemies decrease!

Cut the spending on defence and put that money in social services.

 

[GURU DUTT]

If mutual disarmament occurs önly then the Defence budget can be decreased!

‘Pak, India need to cut defence spend’

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said both Islamabad and New Delhi need to sit down for serious talks to resolve the lingering issues between them for the benefit of their respective countrymen.

During a meeting with a delegation of the Pakistani Journalists Forum in Jeddah on Sunday, Sharif said progress and prosperity could not be achieved without peace in the region. Sharif is on a private visit to Saudi Arabia.

Talking about Indo-Pak relations, Sharif said he was quite optimistic that talks would be held soon. "I had a telephonic call from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after the election and we discussed the need for the restart of bilateral dialogue," he said. "We would like to have a good relationship with all neighbouring countries."

The prime minister said his government wished the two countries set a limit to their defence budgets, arguing that due to the previous wars between them damages had been incurred only by the people and the countries had gone backward. "When we have a strong economy, there would be no one to put pressure on us, there would be no terrorism, no attacks from outside or diktats," Sharif said. Citing the example of the US and Russia, he said India and Pakistan should follow them by adopting similar policies to restrict their defence budgets.

"We (Pakistan and India) have been piling up weapons for the past 60 years," Sharif said. "Instead of spending so much on arms, we should focus on investing in social infrastructure for the benefit of our people."

Terming the recently announced Gwadar-Kashghar economic corridor a game changer, he said special industrial zones would be set up in Gwadar to facilitate foreign investment. Sharif said the development of this port and the proposed economic corridor would change the dynamics of the region and expressed hope the project would help boost economic activities in the region. "Gwadar would emerge as the future economic hub of the region and would not only benefit Pakistan but also India, Afghanistan and the Central Asian states," Sharif said. "There is no short-cut to success and prosperity. We just need to prioritize our problems. Our foremost priority is to boost economic activities in the country and to check the menace of terrorism."

I think it would better for Pakistan to increase its defence budget as soon as the economy recall itself. But India needs some serious cutting.

I would prefer that Pakistan should allocate $11 Billion Military Budget:
$5 Billion for Army
$3.5 Billion for Air Force
$2.5 Billion for Navy
