ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Masood Khan has said US law-makers and politicians of Pakistani descent are making Pakistani diaspora and Pakistan proud not only by their dynamism and leadership qualities but also by serving as a strong bridge between the two countries.

Salman Bhojani also briefed the Ambassador about his contributions during flood relief activities in Pakistan after one third of the country was inundated, affecting over 33 million people.

He said that passage of the resolution by Texan state assembly is an acknowledgment of the contributions being made by Pakistani community towards socio-economic development of Texas, in particular, and the United States, in general. Ambassador Masood Khan encouraged Representative Salman Bhojani to use his networks to connect professionals and business leaders and promote people-to people exchanges.

He suggested to Salman Bhojani to visit Pakistan along with a delegation comprising law-makers, professionals and others to promote better understanding and linkages between the two countries.
