New York's Times Square, Richard Holbrooke, the US special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan, said that Hilary’s remarks were misconstrued and noted that Clinton had also welcomed Pakistan's growing cooperation against extremism.‘We think our relations with Pakistan have improved greatly in the last year’, Holbrooke maintained. Clinton ‘herself praised the Pakistan government for what it has done. And so I urge you to not to react to a misrepresentation of what she said’, he said.
The US Congress last year approved a major aid package that devotes $7.5 billion over five years to build Pakistan's schools, infrastructure and democratic institutions to try to weaken support for extremists.
