The United States on Tuesday denied reports that it has plans to seize Pakistan's nuclear weapons, saying it has confidence on the ability of Islamabad to provide adequate security for their atomic arsenal.
"The US has no intention of seizing Pakistani nuclear weapons or material," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters at his daily news briefing.
Noting that the United States sees Pakistan as a key ally in war on terror and to foster regional stability, Kelly said: "We are working very closely with Pakistan on a number of important initiatives regarding regional security."
Acknowledging that the US does provide them with aid, he said, "As the Secretary (of State) has said, we have confidence in the ability of Pakistani Government to provide adequate security for their nuclear programmes and materials."
"We have a number of security assistance initiatives that are focused on strengthening counterinsurgency capacities to foster stability," Kelly said.
