The Prime Minister underscored the ongoing cooperation between the two nations in various critical sectors such as energy, climate change, agriculture, health, and education.
PM Shehbaz emphasized Islamabad’s deep commitment to its relationship with Washington, particularly welcoming the cooperation in the energy sector and the Green Alliance framework.
President Biden’s letter to Premier Shehbaz marked the first diplomatic correspondence between the US and the new Pakistani government, wherein he congratulated the new administration and highlighted the enduring partnership between the two countries.

Furthermore, Biden pledged continued support for Pakistan’s climate resilience efforts, sustainable agriculture, water management, and recovery from natural disasters such as the devastating floods in 2022.
Biden reiterated the US commitment to collaborating with Pakistan on human rights protection and promoting progress, emphasizing the importance of a strong partnership between the two nations and the close bond between their peoples.
