The Pakistani government has decided to send a high -level delegation to the United States to tackle the newly imposed 29% duty on Pakistani goods exported to the United States, the Prime Minister’s office (PMO) confirmed on Wednesday.

The decision came after the United States introduced heavy tariffs for multiple nations, including Pakistan, on April 2nd.

A press release issued by PMO stated that the delegation would be led by central government officials together with prominent business leaders and exporters, although the specific members of the team were not revealed.

The primary goal of the delegation will be to participate in negotiations with US authorities on the newly imposed duties and work on a mutually advantageous approach to future trade conditions.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized the importance of strengthening Pakistan’s trade relations with the United States, which has been underway for decades.

He expressed the government’s willingness to solve the problem and further improve the bilateral trading partnership.

The decision was made during a meeting chairman by Prime Minister Sharif in Islamabad, where the question of the tariff was discussed.

The meeting included reports from the management committee and the working group that reviewed the customs situation and suggested potential actions. Various alternative strategies for addressing tariffs were presented and the prime minister was informed that Pakistan’s Embassy in the United States had been in continuous contact with the US administration.
