KARACHI, Pakistan - A group of Pakistan's top private business executives has returned from a two-day trip to the United States, where they met with American trade and treasury officials and executives from various financial institutions.

The delegation briefed the U.S. Department of Treasury on Pakistan's banking and financial services issues and trade and investment policy and exchanged views on U.S.-Pakistan investment and commercial relations with the U.S. Department of Commerce.
