Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has said Pakistan and the US are deepening cooperation in energy, mining and technology sectors. In an interview with Bloomberg News, he said Pakistan is planning an investor conference in Washington later this month to draw American investment.
The Finance Minister said progress followed a new trade deal with the US setting a nineteen percent tariff, lower than regional peers and well below the tariff imposed on India. He said the rate boosted Pakistan’s export competitiveness and helped it emerge from crisis.
