US claims $3bn given to Pakistan in one year
Thursday, September 17, 2009
ISLAMABAD: “The US government has already provided $3 billion since President Zardari was elected and will continue to deliver assistance to Pakistan through a variety of longstanding vectors as required by the American law to ensure transparency and accountability, and is not depriving the Pakistani government of any degree of direct funding as a result of a lack of confidence or trust,” US Ambassador Anne W Patterson said in a long statement issued on Wednesday.
Ambassador Patterson made the comments in response to a September 13 news report headlined “US says no direct money to PPP government”, which suggested that the level of direct assistance was determined based on an assessment of the sitting government’s performance, the US embassy press release said.
