KARACHI: The United States considers Pakistan as a key partner and is eager to explore avenues to strengthen bilateral ties, said US Consul General Conrad Tribble.

According to an ABC statement, he made these remarks during an exclusive welcome event hosted by the American Business Council (ABC) Pakistan and a CEO Roundtable session in Karachi, focusing on “Diplomacy and Business Relations: US Support to Pakistan’s Business and Economic Environment”.

Mr Tribble said that events like these provide a platform to connect, share perspectives and explore avenues for mutual growth.

Jamshed Safdar, president of ABC Pakistan, emphasised that the presence of the US consul general and his team underscores the importance of strengthening ties between American businesses and the US Consulate Karachi.

“Today’s session promises to be a catalyst for valuable partnerships and shared opportunities,” he said.

The event featured a question-and-answer session, offering ABC member companies an opportunity to engage directly with the US consul general and his team. The executive committee of ABC, along with about 20 CEOs and senior management of ABC’s member companies, attended the event.
