Deputy Speaker NY set to visit Pakistan

NEW YORK: Deputy Speaker New York State Assembly Phil Ramos is set to visit Pakistan this week, aiming to estab-lish sister-state relationships between New York and the provinces of Punjab and Sindh.
In a historic development that signifies a significant step forward in the relationship between the Unit-ed States and Pakistan, Deputy Speaker of the State of New York, Phil Ramos, is set to visit Pakistan this week. No US State lawmaker has ever embarked on a visit with such a vast agenda.
This visit comes after relentless efforts by Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori and New York State Assem-bly Deputy Speaker Phil Ramos to officially declare Sindh and New York as “Sister States.”
Ramos’s primary focus during his visit is to explore the possibilities of declaring Sindh and Punjab as sister states of New York.
This proposal aims to create a robust framework for collaboration and partnership between these states, fostering cooperation between their respective universities, hospitals, and research institutes.
Upon Ramos’s return from this visit, a resolution will be presented in both assemblies to make Sindh and New York official sister states. –Agencies
