Pakistani officers have warned about this decision, That Pakistan can refer to China and Russia for military leader ship training.

On the other hand, US State Department’s Spokesperson has said that, 66 Pakistani officers to train this year under the International Military Education and Training Program (IMET) for Pakistan, and now that opportunity is being over, and these opportunities will not be used either or provided to another country.

Danfield man , a former US representative for Pakistan and Afghanistan, described this step as ‘very narrow ideology’ and has called it the negative impact on the future of the two countries.

A US Department of Foreign Affairs told source Reuters on condition of not to be named that IME Cancellation Price is $ 24 million, and this will affect two more projects. Now it is unclear that how high level relations do American and Pakistani military officials live with IME.
