The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Senior Programme Specialist Habibur Rehman on Friday inaugurated a week-long photo exhibition in Multan to celebrate more than five decades of cooperation between the US and Pakistan.
With vivid photos and colorful stories, this exhibition shows the many ways the US-Pakistan relationship has expanded over 50 years, with both nations working together in the fields of energy, education, economic growth, community development, and health. The exhibition at the Multan Arts Council is open to the public, free of charge, and runs through February 28.
“Since the birth of Pakistan, the United States has been a committed partner of the nation,” remarked Rehman during the opening ceremony. “This photo exhibit brings to life fifty years of Pakistanis and Americans working together to achieve a brighter future for the people of Pakistan in the fields of energy, education, economic growth, community development and health.”
The legacy of development assistance in Pakistan is actually older than USAID itself. One of the most lasting impacts of the United States’ support was through the establishment of Pakistan’s university system. US-supported universities include IBA, LUMS and the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre.
