The Pakistani government has decided to send a high-level delegation to the United States to combat the price of 29% newly imposed on Pakistani products exported to the United States, the Prime Minister’s office (PMO) confirmed on Wednesday.
The decision was made after the United States has imposed heavy prices on several nations, including Pakistan on April 2.
A press release published by the PMO said that the delegation would be led by the main government officials, as well as leading business and exporters, although the specific members of the team have not been disclosed.
The main objective of the delegation will be to engage in negotiations with the American authorities on newly imposed prices and to work on a mutually beneficial approach for future trade relations.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stressed the importance of strengthening Pakistan’s trade relations with the United States, which has been continuing for decades.
He expressed the government’s determination to solve the problem and further improve the bilateral commercial partnership.
The decision was made at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sharif in Islamabad, where the tariff question was discussed.
The meeting included reports from the steering committee and the working group, which examined the tariff situation and proposed potential actions. Various alternative strategies to resolve the prices have been presented, and the Prime Minister was informed that the Pakistan Embassy in the United States had been in continuous contact with the American administration.
The main figures present at the meeting included the Dar-Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, the Minister of Finance Muhammad Aurangzeb and the special assistant of Prime Minister Tariq Fatemi.
