Washington : Acknowledging that India is a big player in the region, a top US military leader has said that the relationship between India and Pakistan is critical for the stability in the region.
“India is a big player in that region as well,” Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in response to a question at House Committee on Foreign Affairs; which held a hearing on Afghanistan.
“I think all of us — international players, particularly regional players — have to take steps to stabilize. The relationship between Pakistan and India is critical.
Leadership there must, I think, step forward to stabilize that border more than anything else. I think that would be a great step forward in stabilizing the region,” Mullen said.
Mullen was responding to a question from Democrat Congressman Donald Payne.
