International Relations are at the centre of many important topics of the world today, and if it had to be summed up in one sentence, the importance of IR stands in the cooperation between nations and entities around the world. The benefits of such cooperation are immense and can shape global policies.

Recently, Pakistan Consul General to NYC Ayesha Ali invited a USA New York delegation of Pakistani-American dynamic women across sectors for an invigorating roundtable discussion on trade and business development opportunities between Pakistani-American women and Pakistan. The full house was led by Ladiesfund President Tara Uzra Dawood and included Professor Dr Isma Chaudhry, Chef Haya Emaan Ismail, consultant Shazia Rafi, entrepreneur Sidra Qasim, Google’s Mariam Subjally, infectious diseases specialist Dr Syra Madad, et al.

“It was a pleasure to host the high-profile delegation comprising women who have done impactful work in their diverse fields. We look forward to engaging closely with these women. I particularly appreciate Tara Uzra Dawood, President of Ladiesfund, for introducing the delegates and for her noteworthy philanthropic work in Pakistan,” said Ms Ali.

“We are so grateful to Consul General Ayesha Ali for her and her consulate’s hospitality and commitment to facilitating Pakistani-American women and appreciating the important role Pakistani women are playing across sectors in the US, and particularly the tristate Area,” elucidated Ms Dawood

The purpose of this delegation was to facilitate Pakistani-American women to help their counterparts in Pakistan by sharing best practices, experiences and strategies for achieving targets in their respective fields, as well as to promote and bring across Pakistani products to the US. The tone of the event was professional friendship-building, networking, and connecting the community back to Pakistan.

The event was structured as a Roundtable with each delegate sharing her introduction along with needs and leads, followed by a valuable talk by the Consul General. The invited delegates were representatives of different sectors, ages and years living in the US. Their success in their careers was, however, truly inspirational.

The Roundtable ended with action points to work together to help bring up more women in Pakistan and locally in the tristate area as well as to be the foundation to grow and strengthen as a platform for Pakistani-American women.
