<--------------------------------------->

Background: Congressman Curt Weldon of Philadelphia proposed, in 1993, to hold an annual dinner at the Capitol Hill in Washington with the friends of Pakistan in the US Congress. This dinner has been regularly held for the last seven years. At these dinners, the PAC invited one important political figure from Pakistan every year. Notable amongst those were Sardar Qayum Khan, former Chief minister of Azad Kashmir and some ministers and senators from the Pakistan?s National Assembly. This gave the Pakistani leaders a first hand exposure to the legislature of the United States and the Pakistani American Congress.
