In this regard, several US economic, security and defense delegations will visit Pakistan in the upcoming week.

Apart from the delegation under Neiman, a delegation led by the senior director of the US National Security Council will also visit Pakistan in the same period.

The delegation will comprise of US Defence Ministry, National Security Council and Security Departments officials. The delegation members will hold talks with Pakistani officials on affairs related to security.
