Continuing his intense schedule of engagements during the World Bank-IMF Spring session, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar met with the US Deputy Secretary of State Anthony Blinken at the State Department.
Dar was joined by Ambassador Jalil Abbas Jilani and Secretary Finance Waqar Masood.
Recalling the recent high level exchanges from both sides, especially the visit of Commerce Secretary Pritzker to Islamabad in March, the two sides expressed satisfaction over the relationship and agreed to intensify the engagements in the coming months to further strengthen and deepen the bilateral cooperation in all areas.
Dar highlighted the important achievements in the economic sector that led to upgrading of Pakistan’s economic outlook in recent months.
He said the significant decrease in inflation and growing foreign exchange reserves were the results of sound economic policies pursued by the current government.
