Ambassador Rizwan Saeed reaffirms commitment to strengthening Pakistan-US relations

Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Rizwan Saeed has reiterated his commitment to strengthening ties between Islamabad and Washington, stressing the significance of cooperation at all levels in order to increase bilateral trade.

Ambassador Sheikh emphasised the need for coordinated efforts to strengthen the complex ties between the two countries during a speech at a reception hosted by the Pakistani American Press Association (PAPA) in Washington.

“We must cooperate in order to improve all facets of U.S.-Pakistan ties. As one of our top objectives, the Pakistan Embassy is absolutely dedicated to take all necessary steps to accomplish this aim,” the ambassador said.

He went on to highlight the crucial role the Pakistani American community plays, especially in industries like artificial intelligence and technology, and asserted that Pakistan’s future development is largely dependent on the younger population living abroad. In an effort to increase collaboration between the two countries, Ambassador Sheikh emphasised the Embassy’s commitment to developing closer relationships with the Pakistani American community via teamwork.

He voiced confidence for the future, pointing out that international peace, stability, and growth depend on Pakistan and the United States having a strong partnership.

Distinguished community leader Sajid Tarar, former ambassador Akbar Ahmed, and U.S. State Department Waleed Hashmi gave keynote addresses and praised PAPA for establishing a forum that brings Pakistanis living overseas together and honours distinguished Pakistani dignitaries.

At the function, shields of gratitude were given to Waleed Hashmi, Fouzia Kasuri, Akbar Ahmed, and Sajid Tarar in recognition of their exceptional contributions to the community.

A special award was also given to Ambassador Rizwan Saeed Sheikh in recognition of his efforts to fortify ties between Pakistan and the United States. The event was welcomed as a major step towards strengthening diplomatic ties between the two countries and promoting more harmony within the Pakistani American community.
