Pakistan has no intention of manufacturing inter-continental ballistic missiles, although it had produced the nuclear weapons required for this purpose, said Joint Chief of Staff Committee Chairman Gen Ahsanul Haq.

Pakistan's online news agency quoted Haq as saying this to a private television channel. "Pakistan is self-sufficient in defence capability and possess all the required weapons," he said.

He further said that a 15-year plan had been chalked out to modernise the Pakistani armed forces. The plan was initiated in 2006 and would be completed by 2019, he added.

The plan includes provision of spy crafts and fighter jets to PAF, frigates and submarines to the navy and modern artillery to the army.
