ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -Pakistan said it held productive trade talks with the U.S. in Washington on Friday to advance economic cooperation, according to a statement from the South Asian country's finance ministry.

Pakistan and the United States agreed to enhance trade and economic cooperation to foster a mutually beneficial partnership, following a high-level meeting between Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick on Friday, the finance ministry said.

The US designation came after TRF was accused of carrying out the April 22 Pahalgam attack, a resort town in the Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 people. U.S. authorities alleged the group is an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which was banned in Pakistan years ago.
