Pakistan says it’s against militarisation of outer space

Thursday, 28 March 2019 | PTI | Islamabad

Pakistan said on Wednesday that it was against the militarisation of outer space and took a swipe at India’s announcement of shooting down a live satellite with a missile — a rare achievement that puts the country in an exclusive club of space super powers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier announced that India successfully test-fired an anti-satellite missile by shooting down a live satellite.

The test makes India the fourth country in the world after the US, Russia and China to acquire the strategic capability to shoot down enemy satellites.

“Space is the common heritage of mankind and every nation has the responsibility to avoid actions which can lead to the militarisation of this arena,” Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal said.
