KARACHI: Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah said on Tuesday that the Sindh Assembly would pass a resolution to declare Karachi as the sister city of New York.

He said this during a meeting with Phil Ramos, the deputy speaker of the New York State Assembly, and a US delegation here at the CM House.

Mr Ramos informed the CM that during his last visit in 2023, he and the Sindh government had agreed to declare New York as the sister city of Karachi, but the matter was still pending.

The CM said that the Sindh Assembly would pass a resolution in its next session.

He asked Chief Secretary Asif Hyder Shah to prepare a draft resolution in consultation with the deputy speaker of the NY Assembly.
