WASHINGTON, Nov 13 : Pakistan will not raise the nuclear issue in talks with US officials during Army Chief Gen. Raheel Sharif's visit next week, diplomatic sources said.
The Indian defence minister will also be in Washington during Gen. Sharif's visit, the sources added while underlining the importance of regular consultations between US and Pakistani defence officials. Even if the US side brought up this issue, "Pakistan will politely remind them that it was India's so-called cold-start doctrine that created the current situation," one source said.     ?THE DAWN
