The United States has reaffirmed its longstanding opposition to Pakistan's ballistic missile program, emphasizing its commitment to non-proliferation and national security. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller stated that the US will continue to impose sanctions on entities that support this program, including recent actions targeting Chinese companies and a research institute linked to missile technology transfers to Pakistan. While acknowledging Pakistan as a long-term partner, Miller highlighted ongoing disagreements regarding missile proliferation. He reiterated that the US financial system must not be exploited by proliferators and that sanctions will persist to uphold these principles. The recent sanctions follow previous designations of multiple entities involved in supplying Pakistan's missile capabilities. The US remains vigilant in monitoring these developments to protect its interests and global safety.
