The mission of the U.S.

Embassy in Islamabad–and the Consulates in Peshawar,

Lahore and Karachi–is to promote bilateral ties between the United States and Pakistan
and to foster economic and commercial relations. Embassy activities focus on
strengthening democratic institutions, promoting nonproliferation and regional stability,
fighting international terrorism, combating narcotics production and trafficking and
fostering expanded trade and investment.

The U.S. Embassy’s Office of Public Affairs in Islamabad offers a wealth of information
on all facets of life in the U.S., and also provides a forum for U.S.-Pakistani cultural
exchanges. The American Center has extensive information on a variety of topics,
including current and historical events and educational opportunities in the United
States.

Like every United States Mission around the world, the Embassy hopes that better
communication between our two countries will improve mutual understanding, foster
democratic ideals, improve human rights, and provide for a healthier global environment
and a safer world.
