U.S.-Indian Nuclear Deal Could Scuttle Chances of India-Pakistan Missile Test Agreement Next Week

The U.S. decision to consider lifting nuclear sanctions on India could ruin chances for an agreement on advance notification of missile tests between Pakistan and India at a summit next week, the Hindustan Times reported Saturday (see GSN, July 19).

Islamabad intends to review the nascent India-U.S. agreement before moving ahead on cooperation with New Delhi, Pakistani officials said.

The next round of missile talks is scheduled to begin Aug. 5 (Hindustan Times, July 23).
