History
The international, historical, and cultural bilateral relationship between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the United States of America. Roughly two months of its independence after the departure of the subcontinent by Great Britain, the United States established relations with Pakistan on 20 October 1947.
The Karachi CG operates with a significant degree of autonomy when compared to other U.S. Consulates. This is due in part to several large U.S. government regional centers housed within the Consulate, which provide support in the areas of security, construction, and financial matters to a number of other U.S Diplomatic posts located throughout Asia.
Location
Previously the consulate was located at Abdullaha Haroon Road near Karachi Marriott Hotel. Due to security reasons US government purchased 20 acres of land from the Karachi Port Trust in 2005 and ground breaking took place in May 2008. After two years of construction work consulate shifted to the bigger place located at New TPX Area, Mai Kolachi Road.
