Pak step will not help the process of restraint: US

United States Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs John Holum says Pakistan's test of its medium-range Ghauri missile on Monday would not help the process of much-needed restraint in the region.

''We will continue to urge both countries (India and Pakistan) to exercise restraint. This is a particularly sensitive time when the new government in India is formulating its policies in all these areas,'' he said. ''The tests by Pakistan will not help the process of restraint. We think both countries should, especially now, not take steps that are provocative.''
