Shehbaz told U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Paul Kapur and Chargé d’Affaires Natalie Baker that Pakistan was keen to see the early launch of direct flights between the two countries. Naqvi said Pakistan-U.S. relations had strengthened during President Donald Trump’s tenure, describing them as rooted in mutual trust and cooperation.
He noted that Pakistan had ensured ‘foolproof security’ for American companies working on the Reko Diq mining project in Balochistan, where the United States has earmarked $1.3 billion for copper and gold extraction. Both sides also discussed regional developments, including the Middle East conflict. Naqvi expressed hope for a peaceful resolution, while Kapur praised Pakistan’s role in promoting stability.
Pakistan brokered a two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran in April, followed by talks in Islamabad, though no agreement was reached. Negotiations continue as both sides exchange proposals to end the conflict, which has disrupted global energy supplies
