In a pivotal step toward strengthening U.S.-Pakistan ties in the digital economy, Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council, met with Natalia Baker, the Acting U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, to discuss shared ambitions for blockchain, AI, and youth development.
The meeting centered around empowering Pakistan’s vast and talented youth with skills in emerging technologies, and creating bridges between U.S. institutions and Pakistan’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. The Council emphasized Pakistan’s commitment to becoming a globally competitive innovation hub, with blockchain and AI at the core of its future economy.
“Pakistan is home to one of the world’s youngest populations — eager, ambitious, and ready to lead the future of Web3 and AI,” said Bilal Bin Saqib. “This is the time to invest in them, to connect them with global leaders, and to create real pipelines of opportunity between the U.S. and Pakistan.”
Plans are underway to initiate joint programs, talent exchanges, and strategic MOUs between U.S. tech companies and Pakistani startups — with the goal of building long-term partnerships that benefit both nations.
The Pakistan Crypto Council remains committed to using blockchain as a tool of diplomacy, education, and empowerment — ensuring that Pakistan’s youth are not left behind, but stand at the forefront of the global digital revolution.
