U.S. Relations with India and Pakistan (S)
SYSTEM II
90783
It has been the policy of this Administration to foster closer ties
with India while at the same time improving our relations with
Pakistan and China. We have encouraged Indo-Pakistani normalization
because of its importance to the stability of the region. Continued
Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and on-going resistance by the
Mujahadeen have increased our stake in Pakistan. Additionally,
Pakistani ties to Persian Gulf security require its territorial
integrity and security. Similarly, a strong India, stripped of its
democratic values and closely aligned with the Soviet Union would
have very serious consequences for Western interests in Southwest
Asia, the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia. A weakened India, torn
by ethnic and religious crises and economic weakness, would almost
certainly lead to serious instability throughout the entire subconti-
nent with potentially far-reaching consequences. (C)
For the past three-and-a-half years we have attempted to smooth
over some of the more serious obstacles in U.S.-India relations
while accepting the reality that the long standing military relation-
ship between India and the Soviet Union is unlikely to be ended any
time soon. We have also worked to strengthen the relationship with
Pakistan. The Vice President's recent visit to the subcontinent as
well as indications we have had since the visit suggest that India
wishes to further improve relations while Pakistan would like to
sustain the ties beyond 1986, when our current aid agreement
expires. Additionally, Indo-Pakistani normalization, which we have
encouraged, is moving forward. We need to find ways of sustaining
the improving relations because the costs of a reversal are high:
possibility of another war at a higher level of violence; dismember-
ment of Pakistan; end of effective opposition to the Soviet occupation
of Afghanistan; and a decisive outflanking of the PRC. For these
reasons, we need to review our current policy and prepare a structured
agenda for the next twelve months. (S)
The State Department should take the lead in convening an inter-
agency group to recommend practical steps we may take in the next
six months to improve relations with India and Pakistan. The
following issues should be addressed: (C)
o Economic. We should review our international economic
policy to see if we can make practical recommendations to
be more supportive, particularly toward some of the
proposals made by India. (S)

o Military. We should review our security assistance to
Pakistan and the progress of the memorandum of
understanding with India on the transfer of sensitive
technology with the expectation that we can soon agree on
language which could permit its implementation. (S)
o In light of the guidance laid down in NSDD-99 on U.S.
Strategy in Southwest Asia, we should review ways we can
pursue more actively our military relations with India
and Pakistan and increase the number of military
exchanges. (S)
Political. We should review ways in which we can help
sustain Pakistan's Afghan policy. (S)
o Diplomatic. We should review ways in which we can work
more closely with India to bring about a resolution to
the war in Afghanistan and the Iran-Iraq conflict. (C)
o We should explore ways in which we can further encourage
closer ties with India, Pakistan and China and their
relations with each other. (C)
A paper for SIG review with recommendations should be ready by
August 10, 1984. The SIG should present agreed interagency
positions to be formulated into a NSDD no later than August 31,
1984. (C)
