Pakistan-U.S. Relations
Pakistan-U.S. Relations K. Alan Kronstadt Specialist in South Asian Affairs July 1, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33498 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Pakistan-U.S. Relations Summary A stable, democratic, prosperous Pakistan actively combating religious militancy is considered vital to U.S. interests. U.S. concerns regarding Pakistan include regional and global terrorism; Afghan stability; democratization and human rights protection; the ongoing Kashmir problem and Pakistan-India tensions; and economic development. A U.S.-Pakistan relationship marked by periods of both cooperation and discord was transformed by the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the ensuing enlistment of Pakistan as a key ally in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. Top U.S. officials praise Pakistan for its ongoing cooperation, although long-held doubts exist about Islamabad’s commitment to some core U.S. interests. Pakistan is identified as a base for terrorist groups and their supporters operating in Kashmir, India, and Afghanistan. Pakistan’s army has conducted unprecedented and, until recently, largely ineffectual counterinsurgency operations in the country’s western tribal areas, where Al Qaeda operatives and pro-Taliban militants are said to enjoy “safe haven.” U.S. officials increasingly are concerned that indigenous religious extremists represent a serious threat to the stability of the Pakistani state. The United States strongly encourages maintenance of a bilateral cease-fire and a continuation of substantive dialogue between Pakistan and neighboring India, which have fought three wars since 1947. A perceived Pakistan-India nuclear arms race has been the focus of U.S. -

Development Coordination
MFF Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridor Development Investment Program (RRP PAK 48404) DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION A. Institutional Arrangements and Processes for Development Coordination 1. Coordination among development partners in Pakistan is being supported by government- led efforts under the Paris Declaration. Four working groups jointly led by the government and development partners were set up to promote harmonization in (i) sector-wide approaches to development, (ii) capacity development, (iii) procurement, and (iv) monitoring and evaluation. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is a member of all the groups. Development coordination for the road subsector was carried out in the same coordination framework. B. Major Development Partners: Strategic Foci and Key Activities 2. Pakistan has received substantial assistance from ADB, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the World Bank. Until the early 1990s, the World Bank led external assistance to roads, focusing on national highway improvements. Its involvement in this area shrank in the 1990s and early 2000s as it shifted its focus to trade facilitation. In 2001, the World Bank financed the Trade and Transport Facilitation Project to assist the Ministry of Communications in reviewing, improving, and providing institutional capacity building to all major agencies associated with the logistics chain. Under the project, the government introduced a single administrative document and a goods declaration form, both of which constituted major steps toward trade facilitation. In 2006, the World Bank processed the national trade corridor improvement development policy loan of $200 million in support of the government’s initiative to develop the national trade corridor. It intended to promote an integrated approach to planning, investing, and managing the corridor’s transport logistics system. -

H. ALLEN & CO., 13 WATERLOO PLACE, PUBLISHERS TO THE INDIA OFFICE. 1880. ZB£ .281 I PREFACE. Having given much attention for many years to de- veloping the resources of Scinde and the Punjaub, by railways and other means of improved communication, I have of necessity had my attention called to the border lands which girdle our north-west frontier, their people, their resources, their modes of govern- ment, and their political leanings, affecting as they do the fortunes of our Indian Empire. Our relations with Russia, as we have lately seen, have been greatly influenced by the proceedings of that Power at Cabul, and our relations with Cabul have changed, and must ever modify our treatment of the intervening hill tribes; so that political or warlike movements in Afghanistan or Central Asia affect, more or less immediately, European politics. IV PREFACE. Besides having, from circumstances, taken an interest in the political questions stirring the nations of Central Asia, I have for a long period been honoured with the friendship of many distin- guished Officers and Civilians who have spent a great portion of their lives in the frontier lands of India, and it is chiefly on their friendly suggestion and approval that I am emboldened to give my views on so grave and intricate a question as the settle- ment of the frontier on our north-west border. -
