ISLAMABAD: As the Select USA Investment Summit 2026 opens in National Harbor, Maryland, US Chargé d’Affaires in Pakistan Natalie Baker on Monday said her country looked forward to helping Pakistani investors expand their global footprint in the United States.

“Strong economic ties are the heart of the US Pakistan relationship. By facilitating investment, innovation and private sector collaboration, we can create jobs, drive growth and build long term prosperity for both our nations,” she said in a video message.

Baker described the summit as the premier event for promoting foreign direct investment in the United States, noting that a delegation of 16 Pakistani entrepreneurs and business leaders is participating in this year’s edition.

She said the May 3-6 summit was expected to draw around 6,000 participants, including nearly 3,000 business investors from over 100 countries. “It is more than just a conference. It is a gateway to connecting directly with American leaders to identify investment opportunities across the United States,” she said.
