During his visit, the minister is expected to engage in high-level discussions with officials from both institutions, focusing on crucial topics such as climate financing.
Pakistan aims to request between $1.5 to $2 billion from the IMF to help address the impacts of climate change. This financing is vital as Pakistan continues to face the long-term consequences of extreme weather events.

He is set to meet with his counterparts from China, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Turkey.
Additionally, the minister will engage in talks with senior officials from the U.S. State and Treasury Departments to discuss economic and strategic partnerships.
He is also expected to meet with representatives from international credit rating agencies and investment banks from the Middle East, aiming to enhance Pakistan’s credit standing and attract foreign investment.
Moreover, Aurangzeb will address investment forums and seminars to clarify the current economic situation in Pakistan.
As part of his trip, he will visit several American think tanks and engage with selected representatives from the international and U.S. media to discuss Pakistan’s economic challenges and opportunities.
The outcomes of these meetings could significantly influence Pakistan’s financial recovery and its approach to enhancing climate resilience.
