ISLAMABAD: US Charge d’Affaires Natalie A Baker has said the US mission in Pakistan is committed to fostering strong economic ties between the two nations.

“We believe that by working together, we can unlock the full potential of Pakistan’s IT sector, create new opportunities for American businesses and contribute to Pakistan’s economic development,” Baker told representatives of 25 American ICT companies and senior Pakistani officials convened to explore new opportunities in Pakistan’s growing IT sector.

Discussions focused on investment, regulatory frameworks and strengthening US-Pakistan tech partnerships, according to the US mission in Islamabad.

The charge d’affaires said the US embassy and consulates were ready to help American companies navigate the Pakistani market by connecting them with local partners and ensuring their access to the resources and information needed for success.

She said the US embassy and consulates were committed to facilitating investment, promoting trade and advocating for policies to improve the business environment.

“This year in the United States, we are celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, which presents us with an opportunity to celebrate American innovation and leadership in the technology sector. And we are eager to grow the US partnership with Pakistan in this space,” she said.
