Washington, Jan 2 (NationPress) Pakistan has intensified its lobbying and public relations efforts within the United States, as revealed in disclosures submitted under the US Foreign Agents Registration Act.

The documents outline contracts and expenditures totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, involving both the Pakistan government and organizations linked to the country. The outreach is directed towards the US Congress, the executive branch, think tanks, and various media outlets.

One disclosure indicates that the Islamabad Policy Research Institute allocated $900,000 for lobbying and public policy outreach in the US. This institute is a think tank based in Pakistan and is associated with the National Security Division of Pakistan.

As noted in the filings, Hyperfocal Communications LLC was registered in October 2024 as a subcontractor to Team Eagle Consulting LLC to carry out these activities. The FARA filing states that the work involved outreach to US government officials with the goal of enhancing US-Pakistan relations.

Another filing reveals that the Embassy of Pakistan in Washington established a contract with Ervin Graves Strategy Group LLC, which commenced on October 1, 2025. This agreement entails a monthly payment of $25,000 for an initial period of three months.

The scope of work includes outreach to members of Congress and officials in the executive branch, as well as engagement with policy groups and think tanks. Key issues cited include regional stability, economic growth, and democratic reforms.

Additionally, the filing addresses topics such as trade promotion, tourism, and Pakistan's potential in rare-earth minerals.

Further disclosures show that Javelin Advisors LLC was registered in April to represent Pakistan under a formal consulting agreement dated April 24. Javelin disclosed a monthly fee of $50,000; their work involves conveying Pakistan’s stances on regional and global matters to the US executive branch, Congress, and the public.

Among the issues mentioned are the Jammu and Kashmir dispute and the dynamics of Pakistan-India relations.

These disclosures are expected to receive close scrutiny in India, particularly regarding lobbying aimed at presenting Pakistan’s perspectives on the Jammu and Kashmir issue to US officials, Congress, and the public, as detailed in Javelin Advisors' FARA filings.

Additionally, the filings reference a framework document circulated in May that outlines proposed collaboration between Pakistan and the US concerning rare earth minerals and critical metals. This document describes potential cooperation in areas like exploration, mining, processing, and integration into global supply chains, with an estimated commercial value of up to $1 trillion.

Another filing indicates that the Embassy of Pakistan engaged Qorvis Holding Inc. in May for public relations services, with the disclosure listing activities like media outreach and narrative development.

Under US law, foreign governments and associated entities must publicly disclose their lobbying and public relations engagements. These filings provide detailed records of contracts, activities, and payments made on their behalf.
