Rightly pointed out. May be its last minute warning to Indian by Hamid Mir Jaffer to do something quickly otherwise .................

 

[Chanakyaa]

Criticize the various media outlets running with the false story, not the country or the defence establishment.

Also, while I will continue to wait for more credible and independent (of the original Hamid Mir claims) sources, please keep in mind that the details of the MoU's do not explicitly deny the rumors, they just don't list this particular agreement. Caution should be applied in both cases.

Quite Sensible.

Yara nobody is upsetting anyone here anyway ;-)
..... If there is news then there is definitely something happening and i myself checked many links and posted the links back in thread as well. So also, and i must say Windi bahi doing best to come up with more but official announcement. However, for the moment, Hep hep hurray.

Mir would have a heart attack but i don't know how come he managed himself.

Though, official releases soon to be publicized hopefully.

It is pretty much official. Various major news outlets have confirmed it. I cannot imagine how this could be false.

Congrats to Pakistan, China and Sri Lanka!

According to the accord, Pakistan will sale eight JF-17 war planes to Sri Lanka in the first phase.

India had warned Sri Lanka against dealing with Pakistan, urging it to procure its fighter jets instead, according to highly placed diplomatic sources.

Without naming anyone, they said two Indian high-ups had threatened a Sri Lankan official over the telephone to not sign the aircraft deal with Pakistan. Failing to do so, they warned, India would cancel the $400 million loan for Colombo port city project.

However, the Sri Lanka government reportedly refused the offer saying Indian air force itself was not using the aircraft they were offering them to purchase.

Diplomatic sources further told Geo News that Sri Lanka would procure a naval fleet from India instead.

He said that both the countries enjoy commonality of views on international issues and Sri Lanka was the first country entered into a free-trade agreement with Pakistan.

He called for greater parliamentary exchanges between the two countries to learn from each other’s experiences.

About relations with India, the prime minister said that he would be remained committed to promoting peace and stability in the region. “The foreign secretaries of the two countries are meeting within the next few days to determine the modalities of the dialogue process,” he said.

He also said that Pakistan had consistently supported an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process and would continue to do so in future for the sake of regional peace. (Daily Times)
