Firm Denies Buying China Missile Technology

The state-run National Development Complex of Pakistan, hit by U.S. sanctions for allegedly buying missile technology from China, has denied Washington’s accusations and said Pakistan developed its missile program by itself.

“It is very unfortunate that the United States has imposed sanctions without knowing the facts,” said firm Chairman Samar Mubarak Mand.

Details of the sanctions against the firm and a Chinese arms producer remain unclear, but Mand said he doubted his company would be affected because “we are not involved in missile technology transfer.”
