WASHINGTON, Feb 11: Allocations for Pakistan in the 2006 US budget are equally divided between economic assistance and military financing of $300 million each.
Besides, Pakistan will receive a total of $691 million instead of $640 million projected earlier.
This includes $300 million for economic support fund; $300 million for foreign military financing; $40 million from international narcotics control and law enforcement fund; $29 million for development assistance; $20.5 million for child survival and health and $2.044 million from international military education and training fund.
Pakistan's deputy chief of mission in Washington, Mohammed Sadiq, said allocations for Pakistan under non-proliferation, anti-terrorism, de-mining and related programs are not yet available.
"These allocations will further enhance the total allocations," he said. Under the multi-year Camp David package, the US pledged to provide $600 million to Pakistan every year.
