As the global community continues to grapple with the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Atlantic Council is open for business. Our business, meetings, and events, however, are occurring virtually. For more information, please read an update from our President and CEO.

Against the backdrop of longstanding regional tensions within South Asia, the international COVID-19 economic slowdown, the United States’ evolving role in the world, and the ongoing peace process in Afghanistan, US-Pakistan relations stand at a crossroads. Though these represent formidable challenges, significant opportunities for the multidimensional growth of US-Pakistan relations remain in areas such as bilateral trade, business, and entrepreneurship, regional peace and security, and other areas.

What is Pakistan’s vision for the future of this crucial bilateral relationship? How can Pakistan and the United States work together effectively in the coming years? What are some areas of untapped collaboration that can help both countries support each other’s goals as well as their own?

Join the Atlantic Council’s South Asia Center and the Embassy of Pakistan in Washington, DC on Tuesday, March 9 at 3:00 PM EST for a conversation on the future of US-Pakistan Relations with Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States, H.E. Dr. Asad Majeed Khan.

We invite you to join the conversation on Tuesday, March 9 at 3:00 PM EST via Zoom. Please register below. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to join the call.
