MojNews- The United States has approved $125 million for Pakistan to provide technical support to its fleet of F-16 aircraft, official media said on Saturday. 

The announcement came just four days after Prime Minister Imran Khan 's first official visit to Washington.

"The U.S. State Department has approved $125 million to provide technical assistance to Pakistan for its F-16 aircraft," a state-run PTV News reported.

Pakistan earlier had requested the U.S. for continuation of technical support services and other related elements of logistic support to assist in the oversight of operation in support of Pakistan peace drive advanced F-16 program.

In May 2018, the U.S. State Department suspended most of the security aid, delivery of military equipment or transfer security-related funds to Pakistan after claiming that Pakistan provides safe havens to terrorists in Afghanistan, which Islamabad had denied.

On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters after his meeting with the Pakistani premier at the White House that his country has a better relationship with Pakistan now.
