Key Takeaways of USA Visit

Under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, there is a long list of achievements that Pakistan has managed to attain on the diplomatic front. The revitalization of Pakistan’s relationship with the neighboring countries, internationalization of Kashmir issue, Central role in Afghan Peace Process to name a few, GSP+ for Pakistan’s exports and highlighting the plight of Palestinians across all international forums.

The Governor of Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar, an ex-British member of Parliament and an ex-Member of Senate of Pakistan, went for a 12 days visit to the United States of America [US] mainly to forge stronger bilateral ties between Pakistan and US.

The two most remarkable achievements of the Governor of Punjab’s US trip were the tabling of the ‘Bill’ in the California State Assembly to declare Punjab and California as ‘Sister States’ and the signing of an MOU between the universities of Faisalabad & California that specialize in Agriculture. These two initiatives will usher a new era of development and prosperity in Punjab, Pakistan.

During his 12 days visit, The Governor of Punjab met with several US officials and reiterated the Government of Pakistan’s achievements and Pakistan’s unequivocal stance on Kashmir and Palestine. Pakistan’s stance on regional peace and its sacrifices for the war on terror were also highlighted.

Message of H.E.
MOHAMMAD SARWAR
Governor of Punjab

In the 12 days, that I was in the United States of America [US], I was able to visit quite a few states, starting with Dallas – Texas, Miami – Florida, back to Houston – Texas, Kansas City – Kansas, Washington DC, Chicago – Illinois, Fresno, Sanfrancisco, Los Angeles and California in the State of California. Knowing how far apart these are geographically, I am pleased to say that I covered a lot of ground.

During my 12 days tour I was able to meet people from all walks of  life including the Governor & the Lt Governor of the state of California as well as Senators, Congressmen, Congresswomen, Mayors, Deputy Mayors, Supervisors, Attorney Generals, US Government office bearers, Pakistani-American community leaders, Pakistani and Sikh Business leaders and the Sikh community.

I also met several American Pakistani philanthropists who continue to make huge donations to Pakistan. One such name that I would like to mention since I am the Chancellor of all universities of Punjab, is Dr Maqbool Ahmad, who has generously donated US$6 million to King Edward Medical University, Lahore, Punjab.
