The United States has "no stronger partner when it comes to counter-terrorism" than Pakistan, Clinton said while addressing a press briefing along side Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi following high-level talks between the two nations in Washington.
Clinton said that the military package, which is subject to congressional approval, would come over several years and be in addition to 7.5 billion dollars in civilian aid the United States has committed over five years.
The military aid is the latest twist in the uneasy partnership between the two nations since the September 11, 2001 attacks, after which Pakistan dumped support for Afghanistan's Taliban and backed US military efforts.
But the military aid may trigger unease in Pakistan's rival India, which President Barack Obama is set to visit in early November in a bid to forge a broader relationship.
Speaking on the occasion, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi expressed profound gratitude to the US government and its people for sending help to flood victims.
