Pakistan has debt obligations in the next two months. Read more at straitstimes.com.

NEW YORK - Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif made an urgent appeal for debt relief from rich nations as catastrophic floods exacerbated by climate change displaced millions of people in the South Asian nation.

"We have spoken to European leaders and other leaders to help us in the Paris Club to get us moratorium," Mr Sharif said in the interview, referring to the group of rich creditor nations."Unless we get substantial relief how can the world expect from us to stand on our own feet? It is simply impossible."

The disaster in Pakistan - already reeling from depleted currency reserves and the highest inflation in decades - has affected 33 million people, more than the population of Australia. The rupee is on the cusp of a record low, as billions of dollars of promised aid from the Middle East to bolster Pakistan's hard-hit finances have yet to arrive.

This is another way of blackmailing. They're essentially threating terrorist actions or will be 'forced to' sell nukes unless world gives them money.

If that means permanent relief from 'debt', then it should be fine, right?

Return the recently bought J10c 4.5 gen fighter jet from china and take your billion dollar and use it to pay the debt.

Is he warning of more 26/11 and 9/11 types of attacks in years to come?

Sell your weapons in the International Markets you beggars. Why do perpetually begging beggars need the state of the art weapons. Sell the weapons,raise the money and take care of your citizens.
