Islamabad, July 18: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will announce tomorrow a massive aid deal for Pakistan, a senior US official said, as it seeks to build relations with its wavering anti-terror ally.
The money will focus on vital energy and water sectors, the official said, shortly after Clinton arrived in Islamabad today for high-level talks, adding that full details of the projects would be announced tomorrow.
The projects will be part of a five-year, USD 7.5 billion aid package approved by US Congress last year, which hopes to temper anti-Americanism in Pakistan by building schools, infrastructure and democratic institutions.
The plan includes several water dam projects in the areas of Gomal Zam, Satpara and Baluchistan.
Three hospitals will also be renovated and expanded in Karachi, Lahore and Jacobabad.
