Hillary phones PM, assures support for flood victims (The News 8/8/10)	Permalink

http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=30585 US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton rang up Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Saturday to express solidarity over the loss of lives and damage to properties in floods. She assured assistance to Pakistan in this hour of need. Pakistan, she said, might convey its required support in writing to the US for flood-affected population. She said the US would also try to mobilise the corporate and private sectors of the US for helping the flood victims of Pakistan. Pakistan, she said, had rendered great sacrifices in the war against terror and was still facing challenging times due to terrorist attacks in Peshawar and disruption of peace in Karachi. She expressed condolences over the death of innocent people in terrorist activities in Pakistan. Hillary Clinton appreciated that despite great difficulties, the government and the people of Pakistan were facing the situation effectively. She apprised Prime Minister Gilani that the US would do anything possible to support Pakistan and he could pick up telephone and ring her anytime he wants to convey the required support for the flood victims. Clinton said the Nato, Japan and Afghanistan had also offered complete support to the government and the people of Pakistan in these difficult moments, adding the US was making efforts to extend every possible assistance to Pakistan. Prime Minister Gilani thanked Hillary Clinton for conveying the sentiments of the president, the government and the people of the US. He also thanked her for the assistance already given by the US for the flood-affected people. He said the exact assessment of damages and the loss of lives would only be possible once the flood receded and thereafter the exact needs would be determined. __________________ Nobody puts THIS baby in the corner!
