US$13,600

LOL why would we care about this puny sum? When musharaf sneezes he blows away more money than that. Best part is all of it and more will be going right back to the Pakis for arms that you are paying for with borrowed money.

Amazing that the Pakis give your armed forces beggars donations rather than to your people suffering under massive economic hardship.

Something good by Pakistan....appreciate it

by the way.....our government has to feel shameful to accept such donations for some reasons.first koz of SL's position towards current pakistani political conflict. secondly, how can they beg from Muslim countries while digging under Sri Lankans foot and stubbing them from the back. prompted by JVP and JHU morons, our government has done and still doing lot of things to disturb Muslims and abducting them from practicing religious activities and their traditional islamic life-style.

then, I don't think that the moron Musharraf has donated that amount to SL koz he loves us.....Instead, it is a BRIBE to our government in order to stand with his government and to support him in UN related issues.

In return for what??? for voting for or against Pakis suspension from CW??/
Donation of items and equipment is good because no one can take 10% from that. IC should know better than to give money to GOSL. Only 20% gets to the victims with the balance 80% going to pockets.

Thank you Pakistan.. This is a very special gift considering the ongoing diplomatic hick-ups

A good clean message to India to confirm the strong relationship we have

Man SL should have fallen really low to get donations from paki's.

In my defense this says more about SL than the Paki's.
