Calcutta, May 7: The United States ambassador to India, Mr. William Saxbe, said here today that there were no arms sold or shipping to Pakistan for his government as a lifting or embargo on sales.
“Nor has bone of any talk or request from Pakistan for the arms of the United States.” He told journalists to last a letter at Calcutta airport on his way to Bután from Delhi.
Saxbe said that the embargo imposed unilaterally for his government in Pakistan and India had raised his leg for both countries. The sale of US weapons. “Now it is open for both India and Pakistan,” he said.
But Pakistan and India, said Saxbe, had been “buying many weapons from other countries. Pakistan had bought weapons worth $ 350 million in France and India had been buying weapons from many countries for millions of dollars.”
Saxbe told an interrogator that there was “great hope” to improve the united Indo-states. When a correspondent asked what the basis of his hope was, he replied “it will be for the mutual benefit of the two countries.”
When asked about President Ford’s proposal visit to India, Mr. Saxbe said he still had no definitive information about it.
“I don’t know if there will be any change in Mr. Ford’s program, who is now scheduled to visit the Soviet Union and China.” When asked about the reports that the anti-US statements of Indian leaders had created advertising in Washington, as a result of which President Ford could cancel his visit to India, Mr. Saxbe said he had no comments to do. Saxbe hoped that United Indo-State trade will expand and said that the most important thing to increase trade were efforts by India to market its products.
