for general talking points. Paragraph 4 has Post-specific
points.
2. (U) Per reftel, Japan and the World Bank are co-hosting a

needed for social safety net and development needs, as
well as to bolster foreign reserves. The U.S. strongly
supports
the conference and will likely pledge at least $1 billion.

to participate in the conference, especially specifics on
anticipated pledge and participation level.
ACTION REQUEST

coordinate a joint demarche with Japanese and Pakistani
officials, if possible, to ensure a consistent message on
the importance that the U.S., Japan, and Pakistan are
attaching to this effort. Department requests that Embassy
Manila ask U.S. Executive Director at Asian Development
Bank to raise these points with Board. Consulate General
Jeddah is requested to raise these points with Board of
Islamic Development Bank.

-- Achieving our security goals in Afghanistan requires
economic and political stability on both sides of the
Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
-- In his speech announcing the new U.S. strategy for
Afghanistan and Pakistan, President Obama stressed the
importance of increased economic assistance to Pakistan.
-- The campaign against extremism will not succeed with
bullets or bombs alone. This is a global threat that
requires multilateral cooperation and a significant
financial commitment.
