Consul General Charles Goodman hosted an evening for PUAN alumni from Quetta and Gwadar that highlighted the strength of U.S.-Pakistan educational exchanges and the energy of Balochistan’s growing alumni community. The gathering underscored how connections made through study and exchange translate into practical cooperation at home.
The event brought together innovators, educators and professionals whose work spans trade, technology, entrepreneurship and community development. Attendees discussed ways PUAN alumni can leverage global networks to support local initiatives and attract investment and technical collaboration to Balochistan.
Alumni shared examples of projects and partnerships that demonstrate how exchange experiences create pathways for skills transfer, business partnerships and civic engagement. The conversation emphasized the role of alumni as bridges between Pakistani communities and international resources that can accelerate development in Quetta, Gwadar and beyond.
Looking ahead, participants said PUAN alumni will remain essential partners in advancing people-to-people ties and shaping a more connected, prosperous future for Balochistan. The meeting reinforced Islamabad’s interest in supporting alumni-led efforts that strengthen ties between the province and U.S. partners in education, technology and commerce.
