US assures Pakistan of support in rebuilding economy

May 19, 2022 01:57 PM


The United States has announced that it will continue to help Pakistan rebuild its economy, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Thursday.

A State Department spokesperson assured Pakistan of strong US support for their efforts to rebuild the Pakistani economy.

The United States “will continue to work bilaterally on ways to grow investment and trade opportunities to build a prosperous and stable Pakistan,” the spokesperson said in Washington.

The United States also “welcomes the ongoing International Monetary Fund (IMF) deliberations with Pakistan,” the spokesperson added. A public expression of US support would boost Islamabad’s efforts to revive the programme and could smooth bullish market trends as well.

“We welcome Amb. Donald A. Blome as Ambassador to Pakistan! Amb. Blome is excited to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan.  He has a long and distinguished career as an American diplomat and previously served as U.S. Ambassador to Tunisia,” read the tweet.

The newly commends the cooperation between the US and Pakistan on everything from COVID-19 to climate change as we advance mutually-beneficial partnerships.

   “He is honored to be assuming this posting during the 75th year of U.S.-Pakistan relations,” read the twitter.

Last year in October, US President Joe Biden named Blome as new ambassador to Pakistan.

Donald Bloom, who is said to be fluent in Arabic, was earlier posted as the US Charge d’affaires at the Libyan Foreign Office in Tunis. He also worked as the Consul General at the US Consulate in Jerusalem, and the Director of the Office of Arabian Peninsula Affairs at the US State Department.

Blome has also served as Political Counsel at the US Embassy in Afghanistan, and the Minister-Consultant for Economic and Political Affairs at the US Embassy in Cairo.
