A series of high-level meetings between Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio have marked a significant warming in US-Pakistan relations. The discussions focused on finalizing a long-awaited trade deal, expanding economic cooperation, and deepening collaboration on counterterrorism and regional stability. The US praised Pakistan's efforts in countering terrorism and its constructive role in mediating with Iran, while Pakistan emphasized its desire for strong ties with the US, independent of its relationship with China. Despite Pakistan's optimism about an imminent trade agreement, the US has not confirmed a timeline. The renewed engagement comes after years of diplomatic chill and is seen as a potential shift in South Asian regional dynamics.
