The organizer of the visit Imran Agra made it clear that US delegation will neither meet Imran Khan nor talk about Imran Khan’s release as Congress delegation was not interested in Pakistan's internal politics.
The delegation is also set to participate in the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum, a key event aimed at attracting investment in Pakistan’s mineral sector. Earlier, Pakistan’s Minister for Finance and Revenue, Mohammad Aurangzeb, confirmed that a high-level Pakistani delegation would soon visit the United States to discuss the 29% tariff recently imposed on imports, a key issue expected to be raised during the US visit.
This visit will mark the first of its kind under the Trump administration since his election as president. It is seen as a crucial opportunity to deepen the dialogue between both countries, particularly in areas of economic cooperation, security, and investment. Sources indicate that the visit will also provide an important platform to discuss increasing business opportunities for American companies in Pakistan, further promoting economic ties.
