Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan and Yemen.
Afghanistan and Yemen
The honest answer is that I have more confidence than I had a year ago. The passage of the Kerry-Lugar Bill—notwithstanding the controversy that that stirred up in Pakistan—represents a signal change in the American attitude towards its relationship with Pakistan, and a rebalancing away from military hardware towards comprehensive development. The exchange of letters between President Obama and President Zardari, which has now been publicised, needs to represent a further opening up of a dialogue between Pakistan and the US that leads to a completely different relationship between those two countries.
