Pakistan's Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb met a representative of the US State Department in Bangkok on October 14, 2026, on the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank annual meetings. The discussions focused on bilateral economic engagement and opportunities for investment; the meeting was held in Thailand, not in the United States.
Pakistan's official account said the two sides covered trade, energy supply, critical minerals, US development financing institutions and efforts to counter illicit financial flows. Digital assets, their regulatory treatment and potential tokenisation of payments and financial documents were also discussed.
Aurangzeb referred to Pakistan's economic reforms and areas in which US businesses could invest. The official statement did not announce a final new US investment package or loan agreement arising from the meeting.
