The Express Tribune • • 1 min read
Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States, Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, said Islamabad wants technology cooperation to take a larger role in ties with Washington, alongside a move away from a relationship centred on counterterrorism. He spoke at Pakistan-US Tech Connect 2026, a forum organised in Washington by the embassy and technology-sector partners.
The gathering brought executives from 16 Pakistani companies working in areas including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, fintech and healthcare technology together with US counterparts. Sessions focused on business connections, product development and digital transformation, while discussions highlighted a shift from routine IT services towards original intellectual property and scalable products. Officials urged participants to pursue pilot projects and commercial opportunities, with the ambassador presenting Pakistan’s technology capabilities to US stakeholders.
