Pakistan concerned about US's tilt towards India

There is seething bitterness between Pakistan and the US behind such diplomatic smiles. But no longer Islamabad is ready to conceal all its troubles in difficult relations with Washington.
Islamabad has opposed the US policy of favouring its arch rival India's bid for permanent membership in the UN Security Council. And giving country-specific exemption to India to join Nuclear Supply Group that allows New Delhi to import American civil nuclear technology while nuclear-armed Pakistan has been denied similar deals.
Pakistan has warned that the US policy would compound the already fragile strategic stability environment and would have detrimental impact on the peace in South Asia.
When President Obama was in India, Pakistan’s army chief dashed to China which described its friendship with Islamabad as irreplaceable in a changing geo-strategic environment in south Asia.
Analysts say that Pakistan's strategic partnership with the US is aimed at short term gains such containing militancy in the region. Therefore, Pakistan is skeptical about its alliance with the US in so called war on terror. And that is why now Islamabad is fast expanding its economic and geo-strategic partnership with China that Pakistan says is its time tested friend.
