USEFP was established in 1950 to promote mutual understanding between the people of Pakistan and the people of the United States through educational and cultural exchange programs. A testament to our long-standing relations through education is the Fulbright Program for Pakistani students, the largest in terms of U.S. Government financial contribution. Earlier this year, USEFP held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new headquarters in Islamabad, which was attended by the Chargé d’affaires of the U.S. Embassy, Angela P. Aggeler, Additional Foreign Secretary for Americas Syed Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, USEFP Board members, guests, and alumni. As a symbol of binational cooperation, USEFP was allotted a plot in Islamabad’s H-8 education sector by the Government of Pakistan to build its first-ever headquarters. The U.S. Government is contributing to the cost of the facility.
