'Aware Of Asim Munir's Nuclear Remark Reports, But Ask Pakistan': US To CNN-News18
US acknowledges Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir's nuclear threat remarks. The US government has told CNN-NEWS18 that it is aware of reports about Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir's alleged remarks regarding nuclear warfare and said it would refer us to the Government of Pakistan regarding these remarks. Munir made these remarks while he was in the US. CNN-NEWS18 had asked US State Department if it has taken note of reports about Munir's remarks on US soil regarding his nuclear threat, and the Indian statement in reaction to the same. 'We are aware of these reports and would refer you to the Government of Pakistan regarding Chief of Army Staff Munir's alleged remarks," a US State Department spokesperson said in an e-mail response to the query. Speaking at a dinner in the US last week, Munir reportedly said 'we (Pakistan) are a nuclear nation, if we think we are going down, we'll take half the world down with us." This was an unprecedented nuclear threat issued by a country, that too from US soil. India had reacted strongly to this with a statement on August 11, saying nuclear sabre-rattling is Pakistan's stock-in-trade. 'The international community can draw its own conclusions on the irresponsibility inherent in such remarks, which also reinforce the well-held doubts about the integrity of nuclear command and control in a state where the military is hand-in-glove with terrorist groups. It is also regrettable that these remarks should have been made from the soil of a friendly third country," the Indian government said in a statement on August 11. Munir was earlier hosted by the US President Donald Trump at the White House in June in an unprecedented move, gesture not extended so far to the Pakistani President or Prime Minister. He was again in the US now on a second trip for the farewell of United States Central Command Commander (CENTCOM) General Michael Kurilla. There have been concerns in India on the US giving a platform to Munir to make such nuclear threats, and the comments of the State Department to CNN-NEWS18 show the country is refusing to take onus of the same. view comments First Published: August 13, 2025, 20:47 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

New Delhi/Moscow, Aug 13 (UNI) External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is slated to meet his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow on August 21. 'On August 21, FM (Foreign Minister) Sergey Lavrov will hold talks with FM of India S. Jaishankar in Moscow. The Ministers will discuss key issues on our bilateral agenda, as well as key aspects of cooperation within international frameworks,' said the Russian Foreign Ministry. The meeting comes post the massive 50% tariffs imposed on India by the United States as penalty for continuing its oil trade with Russia. In light of these new developments, Moscow and New Delhi have pledged to deepen their 'strategic partnership' across various sectors ranging from trade, security, technology, science and more. The two leaders previously met on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in July in Brazil, discussing both bilateral ties and international developments. This marks the second visit of an Indian official to Russia in August, after National Security Advisor met Russian Defence Secretary Sergey Shoigu, and later President Vladmir Putin. UNI ANV SSP

Nepal to export additional 200 MW electricity to India
Agency: Kathmandu, Aug 13 (PTI) Nepal will export nearly 200 MW electricity to India in addition to the existing 940 MW, officials said, a development that will earn little more than NRs 80 billion for the Himalayan nation. This is part of the long-term agreement that Nepal signed for the export of 10,000 MW power to India over the next 10 years, most of it during the rainy season between June to November. 'The Central Electricity Authority of India on Tuesday approved the import of additional 199.70 MW electricity from Nepal to Haryana," Nepal Electricity Authority spokesperson Rajan Dhakal told PTI. The news about additional export prompted Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli to post on his social media that Nepal will earn over NRs 80.27 billion from exporting hydro-electricity to India. Earlier, India had agreed to import 941 MW electricity from Nepal and with Wednesday's approval, Nepal will now export 1,140.70 MW electricity. Nepal is currently selling its surplus electricity to Indian states of Bihar and Haryana during monsoon. 'Till now Haryana was importing 235.5 MW electricity from Nepal. With the new agreement in place, Haryana will import 435.5 MW electricity from Nepal," Dhakal added. The export will start as soon as there is a power surplus, the officials said. Nepal and India had in January 2024 signed a long-term agreement for the export of 10,000 MW power to India, from 450 MW till 2023, in the next 10 years during the 7th meeting of the Nepal-India Joint Commission here coinciding with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's visit to the Himalayan nation.
