New Delhi, Nov 7 (NationPress) India has acknowledged the comments made by US President Donald Trump regarding Pakistan's nuclear testing activities.

During a media briefing, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal remarked that "clandestine and illegal" nuclear undertakings align with Pakistan's historical record.

When questioned about President Trump's recent statements concerning Pakistan's nuclear tests, he emphasized: "Clandestine and illegal nuclear activities are in keeping with Pakistan's history that is centred around decades of smuggling, export control violations, secret partnerships, AQ Khan network and further proliferation." He noted that India has consistently raised awareness within the international community about these troubling aspects of Pakistan's history. In this context, India has taken note of President Trump's comments regarding Pakistan's nuclear testing.

This week, Trump indicated that Pakistan is one of the nations engaged in nuclear weapons testing. He asserted that the US, similar to other countries, will also conduct nuclear tests, emphasizing the necessity of this action as multiple nations, including Russia, China, North Korea, and Pakistan, continue to perform such tests.

During an interview with CBS News, President Trump stated: "Russia's testing, and China's testing, but they don't talk about it. You know, we're an open society. We're different. We talk about it." He further explained the need for the US to test its nuclear capabilities, citing the ongoing tests by other countries.

Trump also mentioned that while the US is unsure of the specific locations where these nations are conducting their nuclear tests, it is evident that such activities are occurring underground, often unnoticed by the public.
