$900 Million US Aid To Pakistan
December 3, 2016: US House of Representatives cleared a defence bill which pledges $900 million as an economic and other necessary assistance to Pakistan. Pentagon has certified that Pakistan has been taking demonstrable measures against the dreadful Haqqani Network. Based on that certification, the assistance was announced. According to the bill the overall amount available for reimbursement US government is $1.1 billion, in which $900 million is allocated for reimbursement to Pakistan. The cleared bill states "The US and Pakistan have many critical shared interests, both security and economic related, which are working as the foundation for a mutually beneficial and positive partnership." On the other side Indian PM Modi making serious efforts to garner support for united fight against terror. He is using all platforms to corner Pakistan by projecting its activities and he also used phrases like..Pakistan a ‘mother-ship’ and terrorism ‘its favourite child’. But the massive financial aid cleared by United States surely make impact on Indian Foreign Affairs strategy.
