The State Department is investigating reports that China has delivered 24 short-range M-11 missiles to Pakistan in apparent violation of pledges to the United States to abide by the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). The MTCR is an informal export control agreement that prohibits the transfer to non-MTCR states of supporting equipment and missiles capable of delivering 500 kilogram payloads more than 300 kilometers. Reports of the Chinese deliveries came just two weeks before Commerce Secretary Barbara Franklin traveled to China to advance US commercial interests' there.
