PALC Breakfast with
PM Shaukat Aziz
Washington,
DC: Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz will start his historic
first visit to the US as prime minister with a breakfast
on Capitol Hill on July 28.
The breakfast briefing is being organized by the Pakistani
American Liaison Center (PALC), the group which founded
the Pakistan Caucus in the US Congress.
In addition to members of the caucus, PALC (www.PALC.us)
is inviting senators and other members of Congress to the
breakfast.
The Congressional Pakistan Caucus was founded by PALC and
formally launched by President Pervez Musharraf at a Capitol
Hill ceremony in September last. The caucus now has 68 members
with Rep. Dan Burton (R-IND) and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee
as the founding co-chairs. It has been termed as one of
the “fastest growing caucuses in US Congress”
by its co-chair Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
The PALC has held briefings with Ambassador Jehangir Karamat,
US Ambassador Ryan Crocker, and Foreign Minister Khursheed
Mahmood Kasuri. It has also organized other events on the
Hill.
