Sarah Khan is a student at the University of Washington and founder of Afsana, an American-based, student organization focused on highlighting women's stories with education and their identities in Pakistan. As a privileged Pakistani-American who can pursue an education in the United States, Sarah aims to humanize the statistics of low literacy and educational attainment rates by sharing Pakistani women's experiences with education.

For the last 20 years, the relationship between Pakistan and the United States has been refracted through the prism of Afghanistan. Pakistan and the U.S. have a shared interest in working toward peace in Afghanistan. Pakistan and the U.S. have an opportunity to reframe the bilateral relationship. Prime Minister Imran Khan's meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House last July is seen as a turning point for the two countries after a difficult period. There is a good case for a broader Pakistan-U.S. partnership: Pakistan is the fifth most populous country in the world, located in a central geographic part of the world, has the largest percentage of young people globally, and is the native land of over one million affluent and politically engaged Pakistani Americans. There is tremendous investment opportunity for U.S. companies in Pakistan’s enormous energy, agriculture, and tourism sectors. Please join us for a conversation with Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi of Pakistan as he lays out his vision for the Pakistan-U.S. relationship. This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
