| India, Pakistan sanctions lifted |
| 2001-09-23 |
President Bush lifted sanctions Saturday against India and Pakistan that were imposed after the two nations tested nuclear weapons in 1998. The move came as a U.S. military delegation headed to Pakistan this weekend for consultations on U.S. preparations for a military strike against Afghanistan. Maleeha Lodhi, Pakistan's ambassador to the United States, praised the move, saying it "will enable Pakistan to get economic aid and it's a very important development." |
