India violated agreement regarding missile
tests: Pakistan
India violated an agreement by not informing Pakistan three days
prior to conducting a test of a domestically produced multi-warhead missile,
stated Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, the spokesperson for the Foreign Office (FO). The
Indian missile test, which occurred on March 11, was noted, but India failed to
adhere to the agreement's notification requirement, she added.
The missile test in question involved the Agni-5 missile, which
incorporates Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV)
technology. Notably, nations such as Britain, China, France, Russia, and the
United States employ MIRV technology, with Pakistan conducting its own test in
2017, according to the Washington-based advocacy group Center for Arms Control
and Non-Proliferation.

During a weekly press briefing, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch highlighted
Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar's assumption of office, during which he received
briefings upon arrival at the ministry. She condemned Israeli aggression in
Gaza, urging the United Nations to intervene and halt the occupying forces'
atrocities against Palestine. Baloch also denounced India's ban on the Kashmir
National Front, calling for the immediate lifting of bans on political parties
in Kashmir, while reiterating Pakistan's unwavering political, moral, and diplomatic
support for Kashmiris.
Regarding Pakistan's relations with the European Union, Baloch
emphasized the importance of the Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP+)
within these relations. She noted the recent ninth round of political
negotiations between parties and expressed hope for continued collaboration
across various fields.
