The US said that its commitment to strengthening economic and commercial ties with Pakistan was demonstrated by the ministerial meeting of the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) Council that was hosted by Ambassador Tai, US Trade Representative.

Both Pakistani businesses and consumers have benefited from US trade links, according to Price, who also noted that “we have long been Pakistan’s greatest export market, with potential for even higher expansion.”
