The President told James Lambright, President of United States Export-Import Bank that a donors' conference on reconstruction in the quake-ravaged areas would be held here soon where the cost estimates would be placed before Pakistan's development partners.
He invited the Bank to support Pakistan in its reconstruction efforts and also in augmenting foreign direct investment, which would play a key role in job creation.
"While Pakistan has succeeded in attracting FDI, the potential remains much larger," he observed during the call-on by the American banker.
Outlining the extent of death and destruction wreaked by the earthquake, the President described the government's efforts in relief and rehabilitation tasks.
Musharraf observed that the government was determined to continue its policies aimed at strengthening economic growth and creating jobs which are really at the heart of poverty alleviation, despite the several challenges in the earthquake devastated areas.
He said that both reconstruction and poverty-alleviating growth were the highest priorities of the government.
Lambright expressed grief at the widespread devastation caused by the earthquake and the loss of thousands of precious lives.
He said that the Bank would look for the opportunities to support Pakistan in its efforts to overcome the crisis.
The Exim Bank President also praised Pakistan's economic policies and performance, underlining his confidence in Pakistan economic prospects.
Lambright reiterated the Bank's commitment to scale up its operations in Pakistan, "which has a bright economic future".
