ISLAMABAD:

A high-level US investment delegation, led by Gentry Beach, a billionaire US investor and a close business partner of the Trump family, has arrived in Pakistan for a crucial two-day visit.

The visit holds particular significance as it marks the first US delegation to visit Pakistan since the Trump administration took office.

Sources indicated that the visit would potentially pave the way for new investment opportunities, economic cooperation and stronger bilateral ties between the two nations.

Several investment agreements between Pakistan and the US have reportedly been signed during the visit, further cementing the potential for economic collaboration.

Moreover, Gentry Beach's presence is seen as a key diplomatic achievement for Pakistan, given his close association with the Trump family and his role in President Trump's previous election campaigns.

His visit underscores the strengthening of economic and political relations between the two countries in the early days of the new US administration.

During a recent event at Mar-a-Lago following the presidential election, Gentry Beach expressed deep appreciation for Pakistan, recognising the sacrifices its people have made in the war against terrorism.

"People of Pakistan have made immense sacrifices in the war against terrorism, and thousands of people have fallen victim to terrorism," he said. "Pakistan is an amazing country, and its environment is conducive for US President Trump."
