Pakistan’s Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa will also accompany the prime minister to bilateral engagements during the visit. Thirdly, he said, Pakistan wanted a mutually beneficial economic relationship with the United States and Prime Minister Imran would showcase Pakistan’s investment potential. He also referred to Pakistan’s relations with China and said Pakistan was open to US investment in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The prime minister will also interact with members of Pakistan caucus on the Hill, which, the foreign minister said, had bipartisan support of around 40 members of Congress.
