- •A high-level Pakistani parliamentary delegation urged US lawmakers to remove Pakistan from a list of nations facing strict immigration visa restrictions.
- •Senators Saleem H. Mandviwalla and Rana Mahmoodul Hassan led the delegation, calling the visa classification a "significant hurdle" in diplomatic relations.
- •The delegation met US lawmakers at the Rayburn House Office Building to strengthen legislative ties and address bilateral concerns, particularly visa difficulties.
