Pledges made at FoDP Only Saudis fulfilled pledge of $200m
Federal Finance Minister Shaukat Tareen deplored the failure of Friends of Democratic Pakistan (FoDP) to honour their pledges as so far no substantial inflow came from that forum.
It is nice about talking to help Pakistan, however when it comes to give Pakistan the funds pledged in the meetings, the situation looks quite contrary, Tareen told newsmen on Tuesday at the sidelines of a seminar.
He was particularly dejected about the role of USA to help Pakistan financially and release the amount committed at the FoDP forums.
USA people meet us and discuss only one thing or the other rather than to materialise their commitments, the finance minister regretted.
Tareen even went on to say that attitude of USA with Pakistan is disgusting and they consider us untouchable.
The minister said that only Saudi Arabia has released $200 million amount to Pakistan pledged at FoDP.
