Unites States of Americas: Pakistan mocked for typo in PM's US trip announcement

Pakistan has landed in fresh international embarrassment after its Ministry of Foreign Affairs released an official statement riddled with more than one glaring typo. The note referred to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's visit to the United States to attend the inaugural session of the Board of Peace from February 18 to 20, a phrasing that raised eyebrows because of its wording.

The headline of the statement read, "Prime Minister's Visit to the Unites States of Americas". The note has 2 glaring typos: 'Unites' instead of United and 'Americas' instead of America.

The Internet was quick enough to spot the errors and mock the nation for its regular social media gaffes.

An X account named 'Pakistan (Civilians)' commented, "Lanat ha tm pr. Another user, named Sourav, said, "Thoda zyada curtain raise ho gaya bro. Unites". Another X profile reacted to the post and wrote, "Center of gravity".

NOT THE FIRST TIME

This is not the first time Pakistan has made a social media gaffe. Last year, Shehbaz Sharif, Israel's airstrikes on Iran, a screenshot circulated online claiming he had written "I condom the attack" instead of "I condemn".

BOARD OF PEACE MEETING

Shehbaz Sharif reached Washington DC on Thursday on an official visit to the United States, following an invitation from President Donald Trump to attend the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace.

He is accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar and Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Tariq Fatemi as part of the Pakistani delegation. Sharif is scheduled to take part in the Board of Peace session in Washington on Friday and is expected to meet senior US officials during his stay.

A press release issued by the Prime Minister's Office on February 18 said that apart from attending the inaugural session of the Board of Peace, Sharif will engage with senior US leadership and counterparts participating in the meeting.

The meeting is expected to see participation from eight Muslim-majority countries: Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
