US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke was talking to media representatives after talks with Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi.

Holbrooke added: "People all over the world should be more aware of the sacrifices Pakistani people and the army have made in pushing back militants in Swat, South Waziristan and other northwestern regions.

He said that the US did not only increase aid to Pakistan's military but also extended its support to other sectors as well.

Holbrooke claimed that the Obama administration was well aware of Pakistans energy demands and the issue was a top priority for the US.

"In July, I'm expecting Secretary Clinton to visit Islamabad for a second session of the strategic dialogue," Qureshi told the joint news conference.
