- 5 years ago
Pakistan and India have wasted "massive resources" on a nuclear arms race, Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said on Friday, ahead of a landmark meeting with his Indian counterpart.
Despite clashes in disputed Kashmir this week, Sharif and India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh are expected to hold a break-the-ice meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
It will be the first talks between leaders of the two nations for three years and Sharif said he was looking forward to the chance to launch "a new beginning."
"Our two countries have wasted massive resources in an arms race," Sharif said in his speech to the assembly. Both sides have spent huge amounts on developing a nuclear bomb over the past three decades.
