\u201cWe commend the government of Pakistan on its commitment to stop the transmission of the\u00a0polio\u00a0virus in Pakistan. In just a year\u2019s time, I have seen the tremendous progress that can take place\u00a0 and I\u2019m confident that with this plan, and the will to carry it out, Pakistan will be able to eliminate polio. This effort is essential to eradicating polio globally.\u00a0 My colleagues and I are deeply committed to working closely with you to ensure success.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lives and health of children in Pakistan and throughout the world are at stake. We call on the government of Pakistan to hold a special polio summit to assess progress in six months and we stand by Pakistan as its partner in this important cause to rid the world of polio once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s Note: The Gates Foundation has pledged more than US$1 billion to the global polio program in the last decade, including more than US$85 million for the eradication program in Pakistan.<\/p>\n
