The U.S.-Pakistan Business Council (USPBC), an affiliate of the United States Chamber of Commerce, is the premier organization in Washington dedicated to the broad advancement of U.S. commercial engagement with Pakistan. Since its inception in 2002, the council has provided a national forum for dialogue on key economic, commercial, humanitarian, and politica issues of interest to American companies operating in or exploring business opportunities in Pakistan.
