    Since the announcement of the newly formed coalition government, many Americans and Pakistanis are looking to the parliament for a successful strategy in combating extremist violence. We are hosting a teleconference with political party officials from Pakistan, who will share their views on Pakistan’s counterterrorism strategy and the approaches their parties are advocating.

    Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) representative to be confirmed
