Masood lauds Pakistan-American community for mobilizing support to rescue operations in flood-hit areas

Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US Masood Khan has lauded Pakistani-American community for mobilizing support to Pakistan’s rescue and relief operations in flood-hit areas.

He was addressing the 6th International Studies Conference organized by the Quaid-e-Azam University Islamabad, virtually.

The Ambassador said support for flood relief from the American government, Congress, civil society, private sector and philanthropic entities has been ‘massive’.

He said Pak-US relations, for the past 75 years, had demonstrated great resilience and longevity. The two countries had prosecuted wars together and had been fellow peacekeepers.

Masood Khan said Pakistan and the United States have a bright future ahead. He added we will continue to collaborate to enhance security in our region and beyond.

He also appreciated the efforts of Ambassador Donald Blome for cementing multifaceted Pak-US partnership.

The Ambassador noted that Pakistan was the largest recipient of Fulbright scholarships. He, however, pointed out that the total number of Pakistani students in the US was 7500 which was small compared to the number of students from other countries of the region.

He also emphasized the need to project soft power of the two countries to dispel misperceptions and build trust.

Appreciating the important role of the Lincoln Corners in Pakistani universities, the Ambassador suggested representation of Pakistani universities in the United States also.
