The US Embassy welcomed Eileen Laubacher, US National Security Council (NSC) Senior Director for South Asia Regional Affairs; Michael Schiffer, USAID Assistant Administrator, Bureau for Asia; and Afreen Akhter, US Department of State Deputy Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asia (SCA), for the visit from February 24-26.
