Pak with nukes most dangerous nation: Biden

His remarks were made in the context of the changing geopolitical situation globally

US President Joe Biden has said Pakistan is “one of the most dangerous nations in the world” as it has “nuclear weapons without cohesion”. He made the remarks while addressing a Democratic Party congressional campaign committee reception.

His  remarks were made in the context of the changing geopolitical situation globally. The West has expressed concern over the safety and security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Many in the West are worried that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons could fall into the hands of terrorists or jihadi elements.

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif came to his country’s defence after Biden questioned the precarious state of its nuclear programme. “Pakistan is a responsible nuclear state that is perfectly capable of safeguarding its national interest whilst respecting international law and practices. Our nuclear programme is in no way a threat to any country. Like all independent states,” Sharif tweeted.
