A New Economic Era for Pakistan and the US
For several months, Pakistan and the United States had been engaged in renewed trade talks to redefine the scope of economic collaboration. Multiple US delegations visited Pakistan, holding discussions across various key sectors.
This agreement is now being seen as the beginning of a new economic chapter, signaling deeper ties, mutual respect, and a stronger foundation for future cooperation between the two nations.
