On April 20, 2024, the US sanctioned three Chinese companies and one Belarusian company for supplying missile-related items to Pakistan’s ballistic missile program:
- China: Xi’an Longde Technology Development, Tianjin Creative Source International Trade, and Granpect Co. Ltd
- Belarus: Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant
The US sanctioned these companies as part of its efforts to prevent activities that could contribute to the spread of weapons of mass destruction. Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Mumtaz Zahra Baloch criticized the US for penalizing the companies, saying that Pakistan rejects the political use of export controls.
