Chinese and American military aid to Pakistan will "adversely impact" India's national security and there are "clear signs" that Beijing will not allow New Delhi to play a greater role in Asia and global affairs, former National Security Adviser Brajesh Mishra said on Wednesday.
"There are clear signs that China will not allow India to play a greater role in Asia and global affairs. It is for this reason that 'all-weather relationship' between China and Pakistan has evolved into a virtual military alliance," Mishra said said at the national security seminar organised by United Service Institutions of India (USI).
His inaugural address was read out in absentia.
"The irony is that the American policy in Af-Pak region, which includes a largesse of billions of dollars and military equipment including F-16 (fighter) aircraft, has the same adverse impact on our national security as China's assistance to Pakistan," he said.
