Britain is substantially increasing its aid to Pakistan and outlining a new strategy for how it is spent.
International Development Minister Douglas Alexander is in Islamabad to announce that aid will double to £480m ($956m) over the next three years.
The move comes amid British security concerns over growing Islamic militancy in the country.
The increase will make Pakistan second only to India as the recipient of the UK's largest aid programme worldwide.
