During a news conference, Patel stated that “the United States is confident of Pakistan’s commitment and its capacity to protect its nuclear assets.”
Pakistan “may be one of the most dangerous” nations in the world, according to President Joe Biden’s remarks from last week, since it possesses “nuclear weapons without any coherence.”
According to Patel, Washington has always valued its close collaboration with Pakistan and has seen a safe and prosperous Pakistan as essential to US interests in the region.
According to a US official who spoke to CNN, Biden’s comments infuriated American diplomats in South Asia. The remarks prompted the summoning of Donald Blome, the US ambassador to Pakistan, by the Pakistani government.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated on Twitter on Saturday that his country is a responsible nuclear power and that it takes international security measures very seriously.
