Pakistan may get close to $4bn aid in Donors' Conference
2009-04-14
ISLAMABAD: The upcoming Tokyo Donors' Conference might pledge $4 billion to Pakistan over the next two years, Japan's Special Representative for Assistance to Pakistan and Afghanistan Motohide Yoshikawa said on Monday.
Big chunk of change for President Ten-Percent ...
Talking to reporters at the Japanese embassy, he said Tokyo had been advocating for assistance to Pakistan and had raised the issue at the G-20 group meeting. He said Pakistan's stability and prosperity was in the interest of the world.
"Nice world you got here. Be a shame if anything happened to it ..."
The special representative said that the international community would demand broad political support in the fight against terrorism and a plan of action for economic reforms and eradication of poverty.
None of which the Paks have but they still have their mitts out ...
He said more than 30 countries and organisations would participate in the conference.

Yoshikawa said a bilateral meeting would be held during President Asif Zardari's visit to Japan and during the meeting the Japanese prime minister would announce assistance to Pakistan in the shape of a soft loan.
"How soft?"
"Real soft!"
Zardari said he hoped the international community would support Pakistan in the upcoming Friends of Pakistan meeting.

#1  Why don't any of those "Donor Conferences" donate to America, We could use it just as others do, either feed the people and by weapons wih the savings, or consficate it outright, sell it and use the moneu to buy weapons.

Same end either way.
