additional support for Pakistan earthquake relief during an
October 30 meeting with Ministry of Foreign Affairs Under
Secretary Khaled Al-Jarallah. The U/S reported that the GOK

has already pledged $100M, $50M for Kuwaiti Red Crescent
relief efforts and an equal amount for the Kuwait Fund for
Arab Economic Development (KFAED). Al-Jarallah reported that
KFAED representatives soon would travel to Pakistan to assess
which projects require immediate help. (Note: Kuwait Red
Crescent has been on the ground in Pakistan since the early
days of the crisis. End note.)
