Islamabad: Pakistan former Ambassador to the United States Sardar Masood Khan has said that Pak-US relations are moving forward at an extraordinary pace and India has suffered a significant setback in Washington and has been removed from the core strategic equation.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Sardar Masood Khan, while reviewing the recent diplomatic, economic and strategic developments between Pakistan and the US in a broadcast programme, said that the improvement in relations between the two countries had begun before the Indo-Pak war in May, but after that this process has progressed rapidly, especially after the meeting of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

He said this contact established a new tradition in the White House and gave a new dimension to Pak-US bilateral relations. He said the reduction in US tariffs on Pakistani products and the approval of the $686 million F-16 upgrade package also reflect the new strategic confidence of the US, which aims to improve the combat capability, training and joint military exercises of Pakistan\u2019s existing F-16 aircraft.<\/p>\n

Sardar Masood Khan said now there is a realization in Washington that the US policy towards Pakistan after 2021 was fundamentally wrong, and that India\u2019s trade with Russia is intolerable to the US.<\/p>\n

According to Sardar Masood Khan, CENTCOM and the Pentagon are now not only looking at Pakistan in the context of South Asia, but are also recognizing its role in West Asia, Central Asia, the Gulf, Iran, the Middle East and North Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
