The Pakistani Ambassador said that the mutual exchanges and networking among young professionals and business leaders would not only help strengthen our bilateral ties and trade relations but would also help dispel misperceptions between the two counties.

Masood Khan also discussed the Pak-US relations especially the trade ties between the two countries and said that the United States is the largest trade destination for Pakistani products, with textiles, sports and leather goods, surgical instruments, and IT products being major products.
