Pakistan has engaged the Washington-based lobbying firm Ervin Graves Strategy Group to advance its interests in US security cooperation and mineral investment.
The contract, disclosed by Geo News, explicitly tasks the firm with working toward the resumption of bilateral security dialogue between Islamabad and Washington, while also dedicating a section to promoting investment in Pakistan’s minerals sector.
The move signals a strategic pivot by the Pakistani government to translate its recent diplomatic successes into tangible economic and security partnerships.
By hiring a Capitol Hill-headquartered firm, Islamabad is seeking to institutionalize its engagement with US policymakers, moving beyond high-level political gestures to structured advocacy on the ground in Washington.
This development follows Pakistan’s successful mediation of a comprehensive peace agreement between the United States and Iran, which significantly elevated Islamabad’s geopolitical profile.
Deputy Prime Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar recently declared that the country has emerged as a global peacemaker, citing its pivotal role in brokering the US-Iran deal.
