¶2. (U) Per reftel, Japan and the World Bank are co-hosting a

¶3. (U) Posts should convey the following points at the 
most senior level, as appropriate.  Posts should again 
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. 
 
Begin talking points. 
 
-- 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.
