Washington DC : I have completed my assignment as Ambassador of Pakistan to the United States.
Since March 2022, together we have tried to build strong Pak-US relations. In this endeavor, I am grateful for the immense support given to us by our American friends from the Administration, Congress, State Governments and Assemblies, International Financial Institutions (IFIs), think-tanks, media, civil society and the private sector, as well as the diaspora community.
We must persevere in our efforts to strengthen Pakistan-United States relations, despite periodic ups and downs.
A robust relationship between our two nations is work in progress, backed by a history of nearly 77 years.
I am also grateful to the support and understanding of Pakistani-American community. They have become a pillar of strength and a connective tissue for resilient Pak-US partnerships.
I am indebted to the influential Pakistani-American professional organizations that have helped me, our missions, and our two nations to navigate through challenging but promising landscapes.
I am confident that you would extend full support to my successor.
As I leave, I wish you all success and prosperity.
Have faith in Pakistan and keep nurturing Pakistan-United States ties.
