ISLAMABAD: A Senior US official, Eric Meyer, will lead an interagency delegation to Islamabad from April 8-10, 2025, to strengthen economic ties between the US and Pakistan.

Meyer’s visit, part of the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum, aims to promote US interests in Pakistan’s critical minerals sector and explore opportunities for American businesses.

He will meet with senior Pakistani officials to discuss ways to deepen economic cooperation and counterterrorism collaboration, highlighting the importance of continued partnership in these areas.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has announced the formation of a high-level delegation to engage in discussions with the US regarding the impact of US tariffs on Pakistan.

The delegation will focus on negotiating trade solutions to mitigate the effects of these tariffs. A steering committee and working group have been established to prepare a comprehensive response, which will be presented to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

The finance minister emphasized that while the tariffs pose challenges, they also offer opportunities for Pakistan to strengthen its trade relations with the US. No special package for local industries is currently under consideration.

The U.S.-Pakistan partnership is expected to continue growing, with a focus on economic and security cooperation.
