The conference was held to deliberate on key issues related to community engagement, improved service delivery, consular services, and the way forward in enhancing economic ties with the United States.<\/p>\n

The ambassador said we should make every possible effort to reach out to our people in the length and breadth of United States and resolve their issues.<\/p>\n
