ISLAMABAD: In a strategic move aimed at bolstering economic ties, Pakistan has decided to send a senior-level delegation to the United States to engage in high-level trade discussions. The delegation will focus on strengthening bilateral trade relations and addressing the recently imposed US tariffs on Pakistani exports.
The decision was made during a high-level review meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad on Wednesday. The meeting centered on ways to enhance national exports and deliberate on Washington’s new tariff measures that have raised concerns among Pakistani exporters.
The upcoming visit underscores the government’s commitment to proactive economic diplomacy. The delegation will comprise senior government officials, prominent business leaders, and top exporters, ensuring that all key stakeholders are represented in the negotiations. Their primary mandate will be to advocate for the removal or easing of the new tariffs while presenting Pakistan’s perspective on fair trade practices.
Prime Minister Sharif has emphasized the importance of this mission, instructing the delegation to not only focus on short-term relief but also devise a comprehensive, long-term strategy to safeguard Pakistan’s export interests. This includes exploring new market opportunities, diversifying export products, and strengthening trade alliances.
The initiative marks a significant step in Pakistan’s efforts to navigate global trade challenges and enhance its economic footprint. The government aims to build a more resilient trade relationship with the United States—one that can support sustainable economic growth and benefit both nations in the long run.
