Islamabad, Aug 20 - The US will provide all help to Pakistan to deal with its crushing energy crisis, but it has no 'magic solution' to the ongoing crisis, top US envoy Richard Holbrooke has said.

'We are committed to resolve the energy crisis in Pakistan. We will strive to address this crisis with the cooperation of IMF, US aid and other international institutions. US has however no magic solution to the crisis,' US special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke said in Karachi Wednesday.

The diplomat also anticipated that the energy crisis might run for more 25 years, the Online new agency reported.

Pakistan faces a crippling energy crisis, as it is only able to produce about 80 percent of the electricity it needs. The US has pledged economic assistance to Pakistan to deal with this problem as part of its strategy to fight terrorism.
